Wellcraft redesigns its Fisherman range for greater protection and ease of use

The American brand Wellcraft, owned by the Bénéteau Group, has unveiled three new models in its Fisherman range. All feature structural modifications for added protection and ease of use.

A redesigned range that introduces new comfort features

Wellcraft has unveiled three new models in its Fisherman range, open hulls with central console. The Fisherman 223, 243 and 263 replace the 222, 242 and 262, with lengths of 6.7 m, 7.4 m and 8 m respectively.

The range has been redesigned to include a large glass windscreen, integrated directly into the console and T-top, for enhanced visibility and protection. The windshield is electrically operated. The fiberglass T-top supports are recessed into the center console to create more space and make it easier to move around the boat. Another new feature is that the cabin is now accessible from a side-opening door at the front.

The cockpit has been reworked to incorporate space for an additional screen. The hardtop features an integrated trunk for easy access to electronic equipment.

The cockpit seats, padded with a removable seat cushion, now have a dedicated space to accommodate a cooler or serve as additional handy storage space. Forward-facing backrests are now included for the entire front deck. The rear bench seats have also been reworked to offer easier access to the bilge.
