I have a 2000 290 coastal and have developed multiple stress cracks (in some places fractures) across the rear portion of the hardtop frame. I have had these welded, but they have re-developed almost immediately. Anyone have any advice on finding a replacement frame?? I have contacted Wellcraft directly, but have not heard back as of yet. Additionally, i have been searching for a parts boat in Florida without much success... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: 290 Coastal Aluminum hardtop frame
I seem to remember a sticker on my 270 that says it was made by some company in Sarasota FL. I'll take a look next time I'm out there and if there's a name on it, I'll let you know.
Mine has a small crack in it as well. I didn't worry about getting if fixed because it's just one and it's so small. The surveyor didn't seem to think it was a big deal when I bought it in 2010. I can see if you have multiples though, I might be concerned as well.

Re: 290 Coastal Aluminum hardtop frame
Hi,
I recently purchased a 2007 ,252 Coastal, the hard top was made by G G Schmidt co. Sarasota Fl., I've been trying to find a layout drawing for the top so I can wire a VHF radio. I got an email from one of the engineers down there but I think he was too smart, didn't really understand what I was talking about, this all conspired the day after Irma, GG Schmidt parent company is in Lancaster PA.

Re: 290 Coastal Aluminum hardtop frame
Update, since I posted , the G.G. Schmidt co. Emailed me photos and a drawing of the hardtop made for my 252 Coastal.
The people at the company were very helpful, and now my radio is in , and the antenna is securely installed.
