Buying considerations
Wellcraft currently publishes a U.S. starting price for this model: $175,500 starting MSRP excl. tax (manufacturer, checked Aug. 24, 2026). Use that as a configuration reference rather than a final transaction price; engine selection, electronics, comfort packages, freight, preparation, taxes and dealer-specific charges can materially change the delivered number.
Outboard propulsion and a compact 28-foot footprint can simplify routine propulsion service and storage relative to larger inboard cruisers. Buyers should still verify local support for the specific Mercury configuration, electronics package and optional HVAC or stabilization equipment they select.
What to verify in person
- Real visibility from the helm in rain, glare and docking situations.
- Side-deck movement with the people who will actually use the boat.
- Noise, vibration and fuel burn at your normal cruise speed.
- Sleeping arrangements with your realistic overnight crew.
- Delivered pricing with the exact propulsion, electronics and comfort options you need.
