A versatile express fishing boat with dependable inboard power, the 2800 Coastal was a good-selling boat for Wellcraft during her production years. Built on a solid fiberglass hull with a relatively wide 9'11"" beam, the chief attribute of the 2800 Coastal (aside from an affordable price) remains her practical, space-efficient layout. Two in-deck fish boxes, fresh and raw water washdowns, and a transom door were standard in the large cockpit. Forward, the helm seat is mounted on an above-deck livewell, while the companion seat pod contains a tackle center with sink. The interior of the 2800 Coastal, with its convertible dinette, enclosed head with shower, compact galley, and forward V-berths, is larger than expected considering her roomy cockpit and wide side decks. Updates in 1990 included restyled deckhouse windows and upgraded tackle centers. In 1994—the last year of production—a dinette floorplan became standard. Among several engine choices, twin 260hp inboards cruise the 2800 Coastal in the low 20s and reach a top speed of about 30 knots. Quality-control issues have been raised in the past about early models, 1986–90.
