Wellcraft 252 Fisherman: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Wellcraft 252 Fisherman is designed for anglers who prioritize fishing in their lifestyle, offering a versatile and capable platform for both offshore excursions and shallow flats fishing. Built on a renowned Deep V hull with a 20-degree dead rise, this 4,700-pound boat combines performance with practicality, making it suitable for a variety of fishing environments while maintaining an attractive appearance.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

Measuring 24 feet 4 inches in length overall with an 8 feet 9 inches beam, the 252 Fisherman features a thoughtfully designed deck layout. The bow area includes an anchor roller and convenient access to the rope locker through the forward bulkhead. A locking storage compartment is integrated into the foredeck, flanked by two 180-quart fish boxes located under the seats. An optional removable 94-quart cooler with a cushioned top serves as an additional forward seat. The center console is topped with a curved Lexan windshield, and an optional welded aluminum T-top enhances functionality with rod holders, outrigger plates, a spreader light, an electronics cabinet, and PFD storage. The cockpit offers ample storage, including two tackle boxes and rod storage beneath the non-skid gunnels, which are equipped with four stainless steel rod holders with protective caps. At the transom, an optional fold-away seat is installed alongside a lighted 84-quart bait well that drains overboard. A transom door provides access to the integral swim platform, which is fitted with a heavy-duty scuba diving ladder.

Helm and Control Station

The helm station is equipped with a stylish aluminum tilt hydraulic steering wheel, surrounded by a well-organized switch panel. There is ample space for optional electronics packages, complemented by trim tab indicators and a full suite of engine manufacturer controls and instrumentation. A glove box is conveniently located just forward of beverage holders. The leaning post is designed for comfort and versatility, converting easily into a seat and featuring two rod holders and two cup holders. Inside the console, a convenient head compartment is provided for added comfort during extended outings.

Power and Performance

Powered by twin Yamaha engines, the Wellcraft 252 Fisherman demonstrates strong performance capabilities. During testing in breezy conditions, the boat accelerated onto plane in 5.0 seconds and reached 30 miles per hour in 6.8 seconds. The top speed recorded was 49.7 miles per hour at 5,850 rpm. The optimal cruising speed was found to be 31.8 miles per hour at 4,000 rpm, providing a cruising range of approximately 405 statute miles. With a fuel capacity of 180 gallons and a draft of 29.5 inches with engines down, the boat is engineered to handle offshore conditions efficiently and comfortably.

Construction and Engineering

The 252 Fisherman is constructed to high standards, reflecting Wellcraft's commitment to quality and durability. The Deep V hull design ensures smooth handling in rough waters, while the overall build quality supports the rigors of serious fishing activities. The boat’s weight is approximately 4,680 pounds, balancing stability and performance.

Conclusion

The Wellcraft 252 Fisherman offers a compelling combination of performance, functionality, and style for anglers seeking a reliable fishing platform. Its thoughtful design features, robust powertrain, and quality construction make it well-suited for both offshore and inshore fishing adventures. For those looking for a high-performance fishing boat at a reasonable price point, the 252 Fisherman presents a strong option.
