Really want to wait till this time next year to trade up...but I have to pass by this beauty which is in the next marina on my way out of the river!! Really looks like an incredible deal as compared to what I have seen out there so far. Please someone buy her so I can get on with my plan!! Does look like ceramic outdrives so thats my excuse...makes me feel better.

Seen that boat alot on here lately.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6444&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

I would not fear the XDP drives at all, if they have the current/up to date bellows fix from VP.
No corrosion, no painting, what's not to like ?

A VERY nice boat at a great price. If I didn't have to sell my 268 to buy this.... I'd have it already.

One owner boat and from the pics...clean. I've seen pics from when they hauled it when they bought it. Spotless!

She looks great from the water!! Resisting the urge to actually go and inspect up close...sure I would want it!! Another year will flush out the joy stick debate as well.

I looked at the boat last week. Very clean and in excellent shape. The admiral also liked the boat. Would be a nice upgrade from our V268. I believe a contract is pending. I considered trading in my 268 and was told the trade-in value was less than 20K. Looks like I'll keep the 268 for another season!

I don't feel too bad about what we got on trade for our 2000 268 now. It was a notch over 20K.

Glad to hear about the pending contract now I can stop tormenting myself. Less than $20k for your boat is ridiculous!!

Keep in mind that is WHOLESALE value for your boat...or next to nothing. He shot me back a bad value for our 268. We could have taken it and upgraded...but I'd rather not take a hit that big!
