The 248 COASTAL early on later became the SPORTSMAN 250. My buddies 84 248 says COASTAL on the side, yet it is the same as the later 250 with the 1/4 bunks. WELLCRAFT was confusing with some of there designations, sort of like how the last 250 SPORTSMAN was the same as a late 80's COASTAL.

my 84 Coastal 248 came back with a 84 Sportsmen 250 title when i sent it off. Those hulls are bad for having soft spots around the pedestal seats. Plus soft Cabin floors.

You aint joking Skools. We had to replace the wood in the step up on ours. We tried to remove the step up out of the boat but its impossible without taking the hull apart. We ended up repairing it in sections. The cabin floor does seem soft, but not enough to bother me............ for now at least. Skools does your Sportsman/Coastal have the diagonal lines on the sides?

nope no stripes here i'm going to take the whole step up pedestal section out of the boat and rebuild it all with new material maybe core in place of wood.

When do you plan on doing it? I'd like to see how you'll do it.Do you plan on keeping the existing storage areas? On ours that storage seems like a waste of space. When we tried taking the step up out all we could do was move it forward or backward. We couldn't turn it either, it was just stuck under the gunnels.
