Wellcraft introduced the Coastal the 270, designed for a family who wants solid fishability combined with a safe, seaworthy cabin boat providing loads of roomy accommodations. Obviously, the express-design concept works best for families as it keeps everyone together. The 270 Coastal makes no exception. Whether cruising or running to the fishing grounds, everyone is within whispered-conversation distance thanks to the wraparound lounge to port and the starboard helm seat. Also close at hand on the bridge deck: tons of dry storage, a sink and for fishermen, a 42-gallon Kodiak Pro Flow baitwell that can double as an additional insulated drink box. Wellcraft includes the hardtop as standard, right down to the spreader lights and rod holders. You’ll find four more stainless-steel rod holders in the gunwales with rod racks below. In addition, two large fish boxes with pneumatic rams and macerators round out the fishing features. Despite its compact 27-foot length, the 270 Coastal interior provides lots of room. Parents can enjoy the privacy of the forward V-berth, while the kids can occupy the aft cabin. Not enough space? A dinette table coverts to a full V-berth for additional sleeping capacity. Also below: a full galley and enclosed head with shower. You’ll find it hard to believe that this is a 27-footer when you stand upright in the 6-foot-4-inch cabin. The galley boasts a microwave, refrigerator and stove, making this vessel qualify as a second home according to Uncle Sam. Key Features include:• Fresh Water Boat, never fished • Volvo Penta 7.4Gi w/duo-prop drive, 300+hp • Only 487 hours • Garman GPSmap 541s • Standard VHF w/DSC • Maxwell Electric Anchor Windlass controlled from helm • Stereo w/Helm Remote Control • Canvas enclosure for the hardtop, very good condition

The Wellcraft 270 Coastal is a well-regarded cuddy cabin boat that excels in both fishing and family cruising. Its solid fiberglass hull is built to withstand offshore conditions, providing a stable and comfortable ride even in choppy waters. The layout is thoughtfully designed, with a spacious cockpit that accommodates fishing gear and a cuddy cabin that offers overnight accommodations. While the twin outboard engines deliver reliable performance, they can be less fuel-efficient, a factor to consider for long trips. Buyers should be aware of potential issues like fuel tank corrosion and electrical system concerns, which are common in older models. A marine surveyor would focus on these areas during an inspection. Overall, the 270 Coastal is competitively priced for its features and is ideal for anglers who also enjoy family outings. Those seeking modern amenities or more cabin space might consider newer models or alternatives like the Grady-White 282 Sailfish.
