Very nice. You did not mention the head upgrade (electric pump), or did that come with the boat.

Beautiful 268! Good luck on the sale and on your next purchase. By the way, I like the location you picked for that magma grill. Does it function well there without causing any issues? Seems like the vinyl seats might get some significant heat exposure.

Magma grills have an inner and outer shell with an air gap between them. After a couple inches there's really no radiated heat. Watch out for the lid though, it's just a single sheet of stainless and that bugger gets HOTTT. Within 5 minutes of shut down it's ambient temp and can be stored away.

No issues at all, another forum member mounted his on that rail also which gave me the idea.

If we are on the water that's where it is. We take it down when she's on the trailer.

It is a great looking boat!! Sorry, you did list the head upgrade. I have the same setup, better than a Vac-u-flush. Far less moving parts!

I just bought, last year a "07" V258 (new from dealer). If I didn't, I would look at your boat in a heart beat!!

Good luck with the sale, you have an absolutely beautiful boat and I love the Classic Blue Color Band, wish my present 298 had it, really makes the boat look wonderful. For comparison info, my previous boat, a 2003 248 Vista, also mint condition, I sold last February for $34,000 CAD.

This is a BAD ASS boat!

I would love to get ride of my currnt boat and down size to this. I REALLY miss my trailerable cruisers!

I am just thankful I have the problem I have! My wife loves our current boat!

WOW!!! What a beautiful boat, wish I could find someone to take my 220 away and I had the extra cash to put into that baby she is exactly what I want! Guess I might be putting my 220 up for sale soon to see what I can get and figure the difference to get a boat like yours. Your boat also gets some nice tax breaks from the gov from what I am told. Good luck!
