yes. Last year when we got it we needed a high pressure fuel pump. That was an easy fix. Since then this season we did some routine maintenance and changed Risers and Manifolds. Runs perfect.

He put 50 hours on it this year. That's a pretty good season.

I don't believe anyone said 50 hours was not a good season.

Sucks but for now my brother and I need to sell it. We own it together and he just had a baby 3 months ago and its time for me to buy a house. Maybe next season we will get something small to fool around with. As for the boat, looks amazing and runs amazing. We just initially had the fuel pump issue with it which could be ethanol build up etc.. No biggie.

Good luck on your sale, that looks to be a very nice 278 and the price seems very good!!

For the sake of comparison, I paid $25000 for my 1997 278 Vista April 2012 (tri-axle trailer included in sale). Comparatively speaking, yours seems like a really good deal to me!

The boat looks great. Good luck.
suggestion: The craigslist ad could use bigger pictures.

Very nice price. I sold my '04 268 for slightly more than that last year.
