this looks great for running 3-season day trips between Victoria and Vancouver in the Pacific Northwest. nice a quick and everything we need.

very thoughtful and detailed walk thru...thank you

Stout and a lot of comfort and versitility…good job!

this thing looks great

The angle of the windshield is excellent. Takes glare away.

Beautiful Wellcraft.. a long way away from my 25 foot center console I had in the 90’s. Wow

Looks amazing!

All intended buyers also share the description "wealthy". And the Light Bar Fairy has struck once again! Nice job (again), Ben!

Nice. Here in the States we call this an “Express Cruiser”. This is a perfect weekend in the Bahamas or down to the Keys boat.

These rigs are getting so fun now. I was really turned off by leg and pod driven diesels, opting to return to the trust shaft driven because of the low up keep, but these outboard rigs are next level! The only thing i'd prefer is a bit more aft lounge space for the Sydney day boat market.

Dan, wrap it up, I'll take it! That would be the perfect boat for fishing the Gulf of Mexico or doing a Bahama run. Glad to see wellcraft is back. When I worked for teak deckingsystems in Sarasota we were situated right across the street and aside to the wellcraft factory. Donzi and Chris-Craft we're right down the road.

Fantastic review just glimpsed it but was The power train the famous moo engines

Nice walk thru Dan.

Another great review Dan! Would really like to see a review on a Bertram 35 fly!

Thanks for the drone coverage and especially the view of the hull response from the Wave action in Sydney. A couple of points that have not been addressed with this boat together with owner benefits. First the power choice of 900HP total and maintenance of 3 engines vs Twin Mercury 500R. With the twin package we also note weight saving of 164Kg or 360lbs vs triple Mercury 300hp. I note the hull is not stepped, and this provides benefits for haulage and rack storage. Here in USA, the ability to easily save on hull cleaning and keeping the boat out of sun drenched weather and thunderstorms, when not in use, is a significant advantage. Many owners trailer their boats here and we note there was no mention of this in your review. Marina costs are not going down and offsite storage is a demand industry all over the USA coastal regions. Even the ability to haul out and store on Marina dry Lots can be advantageous. You mentioned the boat had trim tabs and running into the bay you adjusted them to 30% or so, but auto response products like ZIPWAKE are very appealing for controlling roll and pitch, which for this level of boat and price, should we have expected dynamic control for a minimum premium.

In the UK they want best part of £550k for this boat. It’s lovely but that puts it in a class/size above I’m afraid.

Great boat, would work nicely for a weekend getaway! only issue I see there is NO microwave, cooktop or grill... no way to cook any food! and yes, it does need a second fridge

For a Groupe Beneteau production boat, it has many great features, and is of an impressive build quality. I think the problem is, at that price point, there are better options, and especially options with 2 or even 3 cabins, and twin diesels that give comparable performance. It’s a pricey boat for a single cabin and 3 thirsty outboards. It will be interesting to see what the Wellcraft 435 brings over this, and where it’s price is pitched.

I love my wellcraft center council they handle rough seas without a problem

Real close to one million fully optioned.

still strong Axopar Vibes with that Rig, but not bad at all

I’d swap in a couple of Cox diesel outboards to improve range because you’re only getting 200 nautical miles with triple 300hp petrol Mercurys on there. If you could get to 300+ miles and cruise at 23 knots that would be perfect (a lot of offshore voyaging won’t allow for a comfortable 30 minor cruise anyway - it’d be too crash).

Great review Dan. But I don't see the point of pointing out where your BBQ tools go, if you don't have a BBQ. In fact nowhere to cook at all.

Dan, Great review as usual I see your feedback is now worldwide well done, as a Sydney boater a quick nod to your location would be appreciated. cheers

Ideal boat for the Great Lakes, Coho fishing, all weather cruising, yet a tad pricy compared to the competition. Quick question you might know, are the Yamy 300s suitable for low speed trolling?

Yaaaaaaaa!

Wellcraft is fully owned by the French company Groupe Beneteau who also own Jeanneau, Prestige, Lagoon etc.

I don’t care about speed, all motorboats have that. However I do care about range and comfort, running out of fuel and needing to refill is a concern. Unless of course your interest is short trips. Sailing seems so much better for travel. I find myself wondering about the future of hybrid motors, using renewable sources in conjunction with fuel. Slow travel cruising would be a part, but what would be the “maintained” speed for distance travel?

Great review as always, liked and subscribed!! Are those yoga pants tho? lol

Cooking range?

Nice machine, needs at least a single burner cook stove.

Love the boat but at that size I’d expect a two cabin layout.

I could never afford, but the molding issues on the rain gutter @5:45 are awful. For that price would think if you can see or feel it then fairing is a must.

If you showed pictures of the different accessories would be nice

You haven't mentioned this American Brand is owned by Group Beneteau

Almost the perfect boat, if I was looking for the perfect boat I would go for the Arctic

what are the regulations for anchoring around shelly beach ? is it all no anchor areas

For that price tag you can get a lot more boat.

No way for a $1 million. Outfit it with a ton of fishing features and maybe you’ll differentiate it enough to get some buyers.

That shower / head was actually pretty small considering your height...especially when you stepped into the shower area... including the length of the bed as well from the bulkhead... seems like it was designed for shorter people...around 5 footers...lol... oh well

Like it how much American dollars

You are doing boat walk thrue, you should know by now that you don't wear shoes on board. I as skipper take them off before I get in, and I make all my guests take their shoes off, its respect thing. Other than that, good review

Wow. I thought it would cost 3-400k. 1m is ridiculous. You can get amazing boats on the second hand market in excellent condition that offers MUCH more value.

Rápido? Pero si eso que pasó, dicho por ti mismo, duró como 8 minutos. Ahí hay gato encerrado. No te confies

Only 1 cabin for this size boat?

Nice boat... but pricey for what it is and it's owned by Beneteau, which means what it means.

Great boat! How much?

35 foot wellcraft for a million. No way it’s selling at that price…

Nice guess wellcraft is an American company

Oh cool... An even more expensive Axopar.

Ludicrous price!

Looks like they "borrowed" the design from Axopar. Perhaps the whole boat.

Great boat and nice naval architecture! Horribly over priced just like every other new built boat on the market now. Safe boating just is not affordable for average income families anymore, no matter where you live in the world.

million dollar boat is way cooler than a million dollar car

It's an Axopar. lol

$800,000

A 1mm 35? Are u nuts?

I dont see why you would buy this over a catamaran so much $$ for so little space

Needs a BBQ and a microwave/oven.

I failed to see how you differentiated this boat from an Axopar 37 cross cabin. Except it’s way less efficient and heavier. The solar can achieve same performance with two verados not three! Axopars have heaters and air conditioners. Cmon Wellcraft. Stop trying to say your 355 is not an Axopar. It is except it will cost you more fuel and more to maintain. Axopar owners are laughing.

Not impressed with the finishes. Compare to a Scout 38

isn‘t it weird they build ICEs instead of batterie-electric - while ICE cars banned in EU from 2030. At Lake Starnberg, we still have 150 ICE or outboard … and 1.500 electric boats… your grand children will be proud, that granddad had a petrol-fueled yacht instead of investing hus money in something less climate sensitive

I don’t see anything American about the style of boat.

Not worth 100,000

Meh…

Ugly I don’t know how they sell

Over priced !
