    A really interesting, practical boat. A very good, rounded presentation. Made my afternoon!

    Very nicely presented. Thank you.

    I grew up on wellcraft. We had an 86 v20 an 88 250 sportsman then a 94 33 coastal. I can see this boat killing it rigged up for tuna off NJ

    Easy to compare to an axopar but I really like it. Nice presentation, you got a good style

    looks very similar to Merry Fisher 1095..Im sure some cocpit components (sections) are the same.-)

    Great boat, fast but comfortable. Like her. One query what is the red plastic cord around Andrew's leg. Thanks

    Gorgeous boat, like it a lot and the outboards are a great fit. However as far I'm concerned the price makes this purely a theoretical proposition!

    it is a beauty,.....but grossly over priced.

    How does this not have a second cabin where the saloon raised seating area would be the standing headspace? Many other makes like Sargo and Nordhavn pack even a third narrow bed area?

    Lovely boat and a really enjoyable tour Alex, thanks!
    Would have been nice to see more underway, even if the sound wasn’t perfect.
    It is a LOT of money for a weekender though….

    Well craft build a beautiful boat,but and it's a big but,the taxes on it in the UK is very close to half the value of the craft,but of they build it in Poland and to the same standard then that would be shining a different light on it!

    Cup holders need to be larger, especially on an American boat.

    @SuperWolffie Před rokem +2

    Looks like an Axopar......better good stolen than make a poor design yourself..LOL...but still a nice boat

    That's the most blatant rip-off of the Axopar 37 I've seen in my life. And people say the Japanese and Chinese are the master of the copycat, sheesh.

    • @andrewb5345
      @andrewb5345 Před rokem +4

      Seems to slam a lot more than the Axopar 37 which is far more pointed. But I agree…… the profile is very similar.

    • @antbear13
      @antbear13 Před rokem +2

      Keep in mind, Wellcraft and Axopar both belong to a company called Brunswick, so they may share designs.

    • @shingnosis
      @shingnosis Před rokem +3

      @@antbear13 Axopar is a Finnish yard, founded and run by a Finnish guy. They collaborate a bit with the Nimbus group in Europe. And maybe Brunswick is the distributor in the states but Axopar belong to themselves more than anything.

      ​I've seen one moored near an Axopar 37 and no contest this boat looks like it's twice the size !! Like a late 80's Princess 55 against a new Princess of the same size . I don't know why there isn't a 2rd cabin. Price and performance it compares with the Bradus 37 .
