That's insane. It's what Rick dreams about at night. Fully optioned 268 with an 8.1 liter engine. One day I hope I find another when I'm ready.

Haaaa, I was just looking at that same boat 15 minutes ago. That is the cleanest 10 year old Vista I have ever seen. I seriously was looking up shipping charges from Texas.

Someone needs to jump on that 268 ASAP!! Every option including generator, big block, and a trailer for 39K...WOW!

I'm daydreaming about what it would be like owning that. Yep, pretty much would be the best time of my life.

You have to find a way to pull the trigger then. Life is too short for regrets, especially about money. It can't be that much dough after you factor in selling your boat.

He's right, life is too short. It's my old boat, but with an arch and the 8.1 vs the 5.7. It'll fly. Same interior color package. Find a way to make it happen if you want it. Life is way too short.

Sharp boat :mrgreen:

Forgot to say, it's been on the market for some time. I check in on 268s and 318s for sale from time to time. I love my 318 but the 268 was different boating for us, both my boys are going to have different experiences on the boat.

You think that....then your 26 and sea-trialing your soon to be new 318 in Florida :lol:

I could swing it if I sold my boat, but I'm 31 I'm looking to buy my first house. What good is a awesome boat when I'm a renter and driving an old lexus. I won't be upgrading vessels until I purchase a house and a new (or new to me) car. At that point yes I'll look into a sub 30ft wet slipped on the st johns river and a small CC for my lake.

That is a clean boat! Ric, do it!

Very nice boat. Wish I'd found that when I was looking.

Ric, House definitley comes first. The only reason I'm not seriously looking at bigger boats this year is I want to move closer to work first. Once we are settled in the new house I can really start boat searching.

I was held back for the last 8 years in buying a house because I was married. Now that I'm divorced I'm finally free! $1200/m rent will go to $600/m mortgage. I'll have more than enough spare cash to pay the $300 a month slip fee with power

Ballpark quote of 2k to ship that beauty to NY. I have a couple of things on the burner that have to happen first. BUT, if everything works out, and that baby is still for sale.....hmmmm

Just look at the engine bay! Spotless
