252 Coastal
2003–17
The 252 Coastal is a portable playground designed to cater to the fishing family's every need. When it comes to serious fishing needs, this investment comes with a 128-quart fish box, an 84-quart baitwell, and plenty of space for rod and tackle storage. When it comes to catching fun, you, your family and friends can enjoy the convenience of a walk-through transom. Up front, a plush V-berth, full galley, dinette table and marine head provide a level of comfort that is typically reserved for larger boats. In short, when you make the 252 Coastal your choice, you're investing in options you'll never want to trade. (Manufacturer Provided Description)
EDITOR NOTES: Very popular express fisherman combines agile handling, a large cabin, and a deep cockpit with plenty of seating. Cabin has everything needed for a comfortable overnight stay. Note narrow side decks. Slightly over-wide requires a permit for legal trailering. Expect a top speed in the low-to-mid 40s with a single Yamaha 250.
