Wellcraft 270 Coastal Outboard: Express Fishboat That Is a Rare Bird

With the Wellcraft 270 Coastal you have a choice of 9 outboard engine combinations from three brands, from 2-stroke 200-hp to 4-stroke 250-hp.

Wellcraft is
over 50 years old and has built more than 100,000 units, an impressive
achievement that few boat builders can match. Wellcraft’s 7-boat “Coastal Series”
has been quite popular the last few years and we think that is for two distinguishing
reasons: 1) they are all express fishboats, even the 21, 23, and 25-footers; and,
2) all except the 360 are outboard powered and there are hardly any outboard express
competitors. Further, Wellcraft simply doesn’t have a lot of competition in this
niche with any kind of power and as a result it is getting all of the anglers
who want to move from center consoles or walkarounds to the advantages of an express
design. Take a look
