How many of the Miami Vice boats did Wellcraft make?

I´ve heard a number of 100 planned but 50 + TV-Series boats actually built (54-56)..so in boating circles quite a lot for a special edition boat...even a lot in auto circles.

Swap/flea markets and Garage sales....

Might also be one of the boats that was "Don Johnsons"... he used to have a clause in many of his projects that he got the clothes and prop things like vehicles to his personal use/ to himself.
When did you own yours and what was the HIN ?
Please contact Jetjock by email or something.

Guess the Wellcrafts statement at the auction after the show and Rick Jr the Cameramans verifications of 6 KV´s do hold a candle.

And yes I´think Trudys KV would be far more interesting than DJ´s :)

That interview is on the Miami Vice Season one Discs, nobody seems to know how long she had owned the boat. My guess is they were Demo boats and not registered to some of the actors directly.

Wellcraft stated they sold the boats to the Series production company ( Michael Mann productions?) and I think that company just let the actors use them and then auctioned them off.

But DJ had one for personal use which is signed by wellcraft staff with greetings to him under the laminate in the cabin. Those are the ones I´ve seen in person, aka the 4th season boat that apparently was a 87 model overpainted to look like a 88 model. ( silver arch and black gunnels etc..) Also this is the cover boat with the girl lying on the deck I reckon.
The one in Germany is a big ? as it´s a 89 and the series ended that year and the boats were auctioned. If it´s the real thing there´s only one still shot of it in Freefall.
Guess we´ll never get this straight except at the auction there was 6 boats for sale.

sofar we have 2 Camera boats, the one Smacky has and the one in Norway and this one over here also referred to as the Stunt boat as there was a rumor it´s reinforced as it weights a lot more than a regular 38KV with same power.

funny I haven´t noticed that interview on the discs despite having them all :)

Mikey-


Go look at the first disc. Plenty of interviews to make ya happy.


Do you have anymore MV Boating history? I am enjoying the read.


Take care,
