Owner Experience Review
Owners who use the 262FfromWELLCRAFTprimarily for offshore and nearshore sportfishing report that the center-console layout works as intended: rod storage in the gunwales, a large, open cockpit, and seating that remains comfortable for multiple passengers on day trips. The helm is set up for an active, standing captain with a compact footprint, flip-up bolsters, and a double-wide helm seat; the console/head is compact, so most treat the boat as a day-boat rather than an extended-cruise platform.
On the water, expert reviewers noted that the hull “handled marvelously” and “tracked straight and true with barely any correction needed,” giving predictable cornering and smooth landings. Performance reports cite efficient cruising in the mid-30s mph with best economy around 33–34 mph; top-end varies by power, from roughly 44.5 mph with a single F300 to about 57 mph with twin Verados.
Forum threads add practical ownership context: some owners chased a list to one side that proved to be a full waste tank, and others have seen rainwater appear in the bilge after storms. Routine service is often DIY-friendly, while dealer winterizing has been estimated around $600 per engine; several new owners also mention parts-ordering hassles through WELLCRAFT/Beneteau channels.
Pros and Cons
- Predictable, confidence-building handling offshore, with experts noting smooth landings and straight tracking.
- Versatile cockpit and angler-friendly layout with seating that works for family day-cruising.
- Efficient mid-30s-mph cruise with best economy around 33–34 mph and strong top-end depending on engines.
- Helm is optimized for a standing driver, so seated comfort on longer runs can feel limited.
- Console/head space is compact, reinforcing that this is a day-boat rather than an extended-cruise platform.
- Owners report rainwater in the bilge, occasional listing traced to a full waste tank, and parts-ordering hassles through dealer channels.
