The fold-up settee gives you room for fishing but, when down, it creates two wraparound settees on both sides with two tables that can join to dine 10. Yes, seating for 10. You have the choice of a couple of galley consoles with fridge, Kenyon grill, and sink. Another Dometic drink cooler slides out from under a settee. Clink!<\/p>\n<p>One problem with outboards is that they hijack the transom, so this Wellcraft has a fold-down terrace to starboard with its own swim ladder, making access to the water safe, easy and plentiful.<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-3-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Wellcraft 38 T-Top bow seating\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-3.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">At the bow, there\u2019s a cabintop sun pad for two and comfy seating.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Wellcraft<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>Just forward, the helm also proves clever. First, triple seats are comfy with bolsters, and a pair of 16-inch Garmin GPSMap MFDs are easy to see while steering. I found the rows of digital switches intuitively arrayed and, rather than clutter the windshield with an opening window for air, the 38 boasts an electric-opening vent that doesn\u2019t block your view. Another slick touch: The two side windows angle outward (think the vent windows on a \u201957 Chevy) to direct the breeze away from guests. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Overhead, the T-top in the name is impressive, with what seems like a NASCAR rollbar holding night lights, Fusion audio speakers, six rocket launchers for poles, and a husky ring to keep the tow rope for skiers and water toys above guests and engines. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Forward, this center-console morphs into a bow rider, with a cabintop sun pad for two and comfy seating circling the bow. Every hinged seat has storage underneath that drains overboard. I estimated there is comfortable seating for 18 people, provided chunky Uncle Harry isn\u2019t aboard.<\/p>\n<p>Need to anchor at the sandbar? A Lewmar horizontal windlass leads to a stainless-steel bow roller with enough overhang to protect the plumb bow from dings, and there is a washdown outlet as well as a wired remote. The spacious anchor locker easily handles the 92 feet of chain plus 130\u00a0feet of rope.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But wait\u2014what\u2019s behind that sturdy pantograph door into the console? I found a very civilized cabin that begs for overnighting or afternoon dalliances. The 6-foot-5-inch headroom opens to a forward berth that is more than 6 feet, 4 inches wide at the pillow end (king-bed width). And there\u2019s an electric head (with a 22-gallon greywater tank) in an enclosed compartment that doubles as a shower. Making this cabin even more appealing for long weekends is the 16,000-Btu air conditioning which, using Victron lithium batteries, will power the AC all night without shore power.<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-4-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Wellcraft 38 T-Top aft seating\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-4-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-4.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The fold-up settee has room to comfortably seat 10.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Wellcraft<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>When it comes to construction, Wellcraft (with a history of rugged race boats) creates the 38 hull in one piece, using resin infusion. Structural stringers reinforce the hull and are foam-filled fiberglass with no wood to rot. Looking under the hatches, I found the finish (even in no-see areas) to be clean and tidy, with no stray glass strands to snag skin. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 38 T-Top also will get points from parents, with the side deck coamings being a full 38 inches high, for the most part, with recessed hand rails for the area next to the console where the walkway was 20-plus inches wide. Good grab rails abounded around the seating as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-7-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Wellcraft 38 T-Top overhead\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-7-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-7-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-7-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-7-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-7.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The fold-down terrace makes access to the water safe, easy and plentiful.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Wellcraft<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engines<\/h2>\n<p>Underway, the 38 is just a giggle. The skipper has plenty to enjoy on the dash, including the usual joystick for docking with the outboards, plus controls for the Sleipner bow thruster that plants the bow exactly where you want it. Engine trim is complemented with Lenco trim tabs. On my test boat, with three 350 hp Mercury V-10s, I used the Merc joystick, interfaced with the Garmin GPS for Skyhook, Mercury\u2019s term for the automatic position holding at the push of a button.<\/p>\n<p>Underway, the 23-degree deadrise and two strakes per side keep this Wellcraft tracking straight, even in the lumpy Gulf Stream, and it banked nicely on its Michael Peters hull. Hammer down (with full fuel and six solid citizens aboard), we hit 57.5 mph. With the base twin 350s, you can expect mid-40s mph. Just as interesting, the 38 T-Top launched like a hot rod from a stoplight, nailing an average of 5.6 seconds on multiple zero-to-30 mph sprints. At low speeds, and while rolling in chop, a Seakeeper 3 kept us stable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Next:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/boats\/2023-wellcraft-355-boat-test\/\">Wellcraft 355<\/a><\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-5-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Wellcraft 38 T-Top cabin\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-5-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTG825-Wellcraft-38-5.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Overnighting is possible thanks to the king-bed berth.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Wellcraft<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>Shopping around?
