If you have a clear understanding on how you best enjoy your boat life and value things like, FAST transit speed, QUIET and COMFORTABLE ride and LUXURY accomodation for 2 - 4 adults then this boat may be very interesting to you.
If you dream of popping across to the Bahamas or down to Key West and being equiped with an ALL WEATHER platform then you should put the Wellcraft 435 on your short list.
It's for that style of intimate adventure with a partner or close friends where I believe this boat is going to shine the brightest. While she's capable of the day boat function without a doubt I was left with the feeling that this really is for the man with a mission.
Let me know what you think?
Please enjoy.

Dan Dan Dan👏👏👏 Great review on a great boat! What I just cannot understand why you don't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers at this time. You have the best and most thorough boat reviews on RU-vid. I have been around Wellcraft boats for decades and I have to say this may be the best model Wellcraft has ever built!

I appreciate that so thanks! I would say my content is more specifically aimed at people who are specifically buying boats so I probably have less mass market appeal (unless you like my jokes haha). When I visit boat shows the people who stop to say g'day are all actively purchasing boats and using my content to educate themselves. That was may career for the previous 20yrs so it makes sense that my audience is probably more niche and less mass market. But maybe one day that will change and it's be thanks to guys like you watching and commenting and supporting so cheers!

I’d agree. You do a first rate job. When I’m ready to buy a boat, I’m hiring you for advice.

This is incredible, after watching your Beer Can Island walk-through, and now this video…you could be in Bimini from Haulover in an hour! 😮❤

I have never declined a purchase based upon looks alone. This would be the exception, I think.

I spoke with the UK dealers at the Southampton Boat Show and asked if they'd fit 2 or 3 Cox diesel outboards instead and they said that as the rigging all happens at the factory in Poland they won't do anything but the Mercurys. Which is a massive shame IMO as this is a boat for touring and cruising and with fuel flow at 29 knots of 0.12 nautical miles per litre that's over 8 litres per mile or, given our UK fuel costs, almost £20 per mile! So, to take a cruise of 60 nautical miles each way (Falmouth to the Scillies) would cost £2,400 which is far too much for a short day trip. Overall this really kills it for me in the UK.

@chippyjohn1 6 месяцев назад

Because Poland is owned by the USA, so they have to cater towards the US market. They can just invade another country for cheaper petrol.

@HarryShagnasty-sc9zd 3 месяца назад

Would they sell it without the engines?

Saudi Tuition. LOL. Good stuff-- love the off the cuff expressions that are new and delightful. Thanks for the chuckles, as well as the helpful and informative reviews.

@BoatLife_DansBoatLife 8 месяцев назад

Haha that just popped into my head when I was thinking abou tthe fuel flow! I probably confuse some people as I guess America gets their fuel from Gulf of Mexico where us Aussies would rely on our Saudi mates to keep the lights on.

Curious why they didnt offer twin 600 Merc's? Would seem like a perfect pairing.

@chippyjohn1 6 месяцев назад

Mercury engines are terribly unreliable, you need at least three for when they break down.

Great review Dan, glad you got to experience Haulover! [[I saw you dragging the swim ladder in the drone shots - shame on you!!]]

@BoatLife_DansBoatLife 8 месяцев назад

Haha I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice that! 10 points Keith. I did check it when we left the dock but it was before sunrise and I didn't realise there was a stainless securing piece that wasn't down so yep... ladder down unfortunately :( Really enjoyed getting a chance to see Haulover after watching it on Wavy Boats for thousands of hours over the years haha

@KevLaj 8 месяцев назад

Dan, you seem to cruise all outboard driven boats quite aggressively, at say 80% of WOT. Is there any manufacturers advice as to what they consider 'normal' operating RPM?

@BoatLife_DansBoatLife 8 месяцев назад

When the motors are band new it's best to cary the revs for the first 10hrs or so to avoid a memory building up in the cylinders but in general if you speak with any mechanics these modern outboards can take pretty much anything you throw at them (within reason). I will do two things... first drive for fuel flow efficiency either in the videos or personally and second drive for enjoyment. Fuel flow you will see me down around 4,000 - 4,500 revs depending on the weight of the boat and engine package and when it's for fun you'll see me over the 5,000 rev mark.

I've seen a few of them around Ft Lauderdale so would love to get on one if I get an opportunity

@fearhand12 8 месяцев назад

Think the 355 was the sweet spot. This is getting a bit big for outboards.

@BoatLife_DansBoatLife 8 месяцев назад

I predict with the growth of outboard HP and tech we will continue to see bigger and bigger boats with outboards.

@fearhand12 8 месяцев назад

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife I'll take your word for it you'd know but aesthetically boats of a certain size should have a clean transom. I've been begging you to get on a Tiara/Pursuit for a while. Can you manage that this trip? I think you'd love the larger Tiaras

@BoatLife_DansBoatLife 8 месяцев назад

@@fearhand12 Yes I see your point from asthetics but i'd also say the larger physical size of the V10's and the V12's are openning up new design and asthetic possibilities. So re Tiara I have seen a whole bunch of them on my travels through the US and the quality looks top notch! I've also seen a fair few Pursuits too. I currently just don't know anyone from either company as they are not represented in Australia? So if you or anyone reading this can connect me with the right people then YES I would very much like to learn more about both brands. I got on a Tiara in Newport Rhode Island and was VERY impressed

@danfarmer_photo 8 месяцев назад

Dan, it looks like you’ve got this video set to ‘unlisted’. Not sure if that was intentional.

@BoatLife_DansBoatLife 8 месяцев назад

Yes I will set this to public on Sunday. I always publish the walkthrough first and give people time to watch that before the test drive.

@derjaeger3321 6 месяцев назад

@@chippyjohn1 Where did you get any notion of forcing anyone? You are the one carping and kvetching not I. The boat test was conducted in the United States - so he quite rightly used the system that we use. We in the United States place personal freedom and personal choice over state rule. We love to be different, and we gladly chose to be so - it is a quirk in our ethos. Why do you think millions of people sneak over our border each year? They are not here for the beer and the BBQ. It is the freedom and opportunity, the same reason my wife's grandfather came from Denmark and my great, great, great grandfather came from Germany. You like metric?- fine enjoy yourself.
