View the latest post 330 coastal engine room problems
- Posted by: geco1950 » Sat May 03, 2025 10:19 am
- Forum: Wellcraft Boats Forum
I own a 2004 330coastal ...The most frustrating experience every year and on occasion is service and/or repair in one or both diesel engines (volvo penta D6). The reason is that in order to get access on both sides on each engine I have to unscrew and remove both front seats to the aft deck so the mechanic work on them. By removing the two hatches between the seats is not enough ! even after removing the aft fish boxes and hatches on ths aft deck doenot do anything to help solve this problem. I have seen that the next up model the 360 wellcraft model has a lifting system under each chair (electrical?) who does this job giving ample access to the engine room . Any 330 coastal owner has similar experience and how he deals with it? .Any help,suggestion,or directions to this problem will be highly appreciated.

I recently purchased a 1989 192 classic in great shape. My question is on the interior. In every other boat I have purchased the cuddy has always has storage under the cushions. This one does not. Does anyone who has one have strife or can I open it up and add storage and if anyone has done this?
Thank you for help

- Posted by: Gloucesterman » Sat Apr 19, 2025 10:39 am
- Forum: Engines, Transmissions & Drives
Greetings. I’m in the market for a used Coastal 290 in the 2000-2009 range and doing some research. One item I’m researching is the material of the fuel tanks. From what I have read Wellcraft used Plastic, Stainless or Aluminum depending on the year & batch. I’ve also read that plastic has a very short lifespan and stainless is about 20 years. Do you have any advice or experience on this topic?

View the latest post 1999 2800 Martinique potential purchase
- Posted by: Roamer » Sun Apr 13, 2025 1:56 pm
- Forum: Wellcraft Boats Forum
Hi all,
I will be looking at a 1999 Martinique with twin Volvo 4.3's and XS drives. 570 hours. Is there anything specific to this model I should be looking for? I am an experienced boater, mostly with larger inboard vessels. So I know my way around boats, just know nothing about this particular model or the Volvo engine/drives. Boat will be on lake Erie.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

View the latest post Can a New small Kicker outboard engine be added to this 1997 Wellcraft 240 Coastal with Mercurity 225HP

Howdy,
I am trying to purchase a 1997 Welllcraft 240 Coastal Boat in Fairfield,
TX on Facebook Marketplace.
Can a New small Kicker outboard engine be added to this 1997 Wellcraft 240 Coastal with Mercurity 225HP?
I do not want to buy the boat unless I can Buy a Second Small Outboard Motor that will fit on the Transom or the back of the boat.
Does anyone have a Wellcraft 240 Coastal with a kicker second outboard engine? If so can you please supply the motor details and where the kicker engine is mounted on your boat?
Facebook Market Place
Search on; 1997 240 wellcraft
Thanks,
Brian
