Founded in the 1960s in Sarasota, Florida, Wellcraft soon gained a reputation for adrenaline-pumping speed with its line of Scarab deep-V high-performance boats. A fixture on the offshore-racing and poker-run circuits for decades, the brand gained international fame in the 1980s when actor Don Johnson, star of the popular Miami Vice TV show, drove a Wellcraft Scarab 38 KV in the series. At that time, Wellcraft offered a full range of models, including large express cruisers. But in recent years, the builder has focused on center-console fishing boats ranging from 20 to 35 feet.
