Fast Hulls

The well craft boats have been reviewed as having the most sea worthy hull of many of the vessels on the market, in comparison to other similar brands. The durability combined with the ability to navigate on heavy seas and rough waters quickly, has gained the brand some attention. However, the hulls are not rated highly for the aesthetics. While there are some color and design features and customizations, it appears that the Well Craft has focused more on creating a fast and efficient boat than on the colors and hull wrapping.

Built heavy for heavy waters

Weights of the Well Craft are heavier than other boats of the same size and category. This is not a negative, but rather a high positive. Yes, you will need to ensure that you have a boat trailer which can handle the extra weight, but that is out of the water. In the water, the heavier boat provides a stable ride, can “take a real beating in rough water”, and last longer. The only real competitors which have similar weights and durability are Grady White and Boston Whaler, unless you go to the sizes which cannot be trailered with the typical pull behind boat trailer.

A Choice of engines

Well Craft boats seems to understand that people, especially boaters, are particular about the power which guides their boat. For this reason there are three options available. These are the Evinrude, E-Tech motor, the Yamaha, and the Mercury. As Yamaha and Mercury are the top contenders (apart from perhaps the Seven Marine Engine) in the boating market, the engine configurations are designed to cater to most audiences.

Models

Well Craft is a global boat brand, and by such the boats which they offer vary. However, before the customizations, the base boats offered in the United States are:

• 182 Fisherman
• 202 Fisherman
• 222 Fisherman
• 242 Fisherman
• 262 Fisherman
• 302 Fisherman
• 221 Bay
• 241 Bay
• 290 Coastal

All of the fisherman series are Center Console boats. The 290 Coastal is a walkaround. Older boats, particularly those from the early 90s may be available. When purchasing older boats from this time era, check to see if the pre-owned boat is the standard or the Proline as well as the engine configuration and fishboxes.

Where is the best water to use a Well Craft boat?

Apart from the 290 Coastal which is ideal for Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico deep sea fishing, the boats are primarily designed for inshore fishing, small offshore excursions, and for freshwater. The majority of the Center Consoles (the Fisherman series) are under 25’ making them a valid option for rivers, streams, lakes, and rivers. Ensure that you have power polls and packaging for the shallower waters, or purchase the bay boats which are designed to navigate in the 4’ depths.
