CY October issue: Wellcraft 355 – Triple Mercury Verado 350

Test Boat with Verado Engines

Oct 27, 2022

This special introduction boat had a full graphic wrap that was very cool! Notice the hull-side door, open transom, and big, high side deck on starboard, leading to the bow seating.

Fashions change and the new Wellcraft 355 dramatically breaks new ground while still building on the offshore performance reputation. Don Johnson’s Miami Vice boat needed a couple of big-block V8s to catch the bad guys, but the new Wellcraft 355 has a better way to deliver the speed – triple 350 horsepower Mercury Verado outboards.

The 355 is remarkably fast but it offers more than just speed. Today, performance demands the ability to test the limits in challenging weather, wherever an owner wants to go on their adventures. The Wellcraft 355 is stylish and has a great aggressive look, but it has the functionality and character to handle many different tasks. This was the test boat featuring triple 350 horsepower Verado engines with joystick piloting and all the options.

Cabin Roof with RackThe cabin roof has racking to carry SUPs, kayaks and other things plus, it mounts the radar and communications systems as high as possible for best communications and navigation.

Spotted! Canadian Boating in Antigua & Barbuda

By Mathew Channer

I wore my Canadian Boating cap everywhere I went in Antigua, for the sun, not for the shout-outs. But I sure received a lot of them.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world. Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
