Wellcraft Boat Owners Forum

Hi all

I bought a decent 165 last year and used it most of 2024
Summer. Recently, I pulled up the old carpet only to discover the former owner had covered over the rotten floor with construction grade plywood.
I removed a lot of it and found out that the stringers are also rotten inside their fiberglass casings.
My question is how much work is involved fixing all this stuff and putting down new floor or is it better just to try and sell the boat to someone that’s willing to spend the time to get it back into shape. Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.!

Hello All , I would like to know what others are running for props on there vessels . presently I am running 21-22 four blade props on my vessel and dont seem to be getting enough cruise speed .Currently props are off the boat and at prop place for tuning . I cruise at 2550 rpm and am only getting 20 to 21 knots . Is this normal or can props be tuned for more speed at cruise ? wot is about 2900 rpm and speed about 25 knots . Has anyone on here had props tuned to get a cruise speed of 24 to 25 knots ? If so how did you do it ?

Maxwell Freedom on 290 Coastal

Anyone know where the relay box is located for a Maxwell 500 Freedom windlass in a 2002 Wellcraft 290 coastal?

The circuit breaker is located over the main battery switches that required me to almost lay on my belly to find it!

Thanks

I bought this boat last year and had the motor redone. Now I am looking for a Throttle cable for a 4.3 Mercury inboard motor. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase one?

Hi I am looking to purchase the aluminium frame factory hardtop for a coastal 232. My boat is a 2005 model. Does anyone know where I could get one or have a wrecking boat with one in reasonable condition. I can organise transport.

My new to me 1990 Wellcraft 215XL W/ 5.7 Merc. My first vessel. I’ve been out a few times this month now. It’s not perfect and I’ve got some stuff to do on it. The water manifolds seep to the outside. After taking it out I have discovered a low power issue. I replaced plugs,wires, distributor cap and rotor just for keeps-sake and it being old without any records of replacement. I’ve got a decent studder on “ahead full” position with a general consensus of not being able to top 3,400 RPM with myself, full tank of fuel in it. I’m assuming I have an issue with accelerator pump and secondaries. I plan on verifying fuel pressure and then looking into the carb. Points system.

Hello All,

Long time boat owner, bought my first Wellcraft 5 years ago a 2001 Martinique 3000, Twin Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi Duo Prop. I live in CT Long Island Sound, I'm a retired professional city Firefighter. Its a great boat and has become my favorite, just a great layout. Now I need canvas replacement, I'll be asking for assistance with getting that.
