My memory is a little fuzzy and I thought that the Wellcrafts were originally made in North Miami, FL. Later the factory (and company) was moved to Sarasota. I remember (as a kid) there was a part of North Miami that had several boat builders including Mako and I think Wellcraft too. I did just see an article that said the the Wellcraft plant in Sarasota has been empty for a few years since 2009 when Wellcraft moved their boatworks to Michigan.
