Actually drove out to vernon this morning to look at this. She's pretty rough, needs the full meal deal, stringers, floor, transom ( which i was ok with ) . The outside of the hull has been painted with some sort of latex paint and the one side of the boat has severe gouges in the side where they never used fenders. Little to no care for this boat over the years. The trailer is also shot and not worth fixing. ( a heads up for anybody thinking of going to look at it ) .

Curious what you get out of your 26 with the single under normal loads... (cruise rpm and burn). Would you go with a single if you were to do it again? (not that it sounds like it's in your future, haha)

Ive got a 350 duo prop (zuk) on my 26 sportfisher which is a bit more weight then the sedans as its double lined hull at 4200 Rpm do 26 to 29 mph and burn rate at 47 to 50 ltr per hour so about same fuel burn the duo prop does make a big difference in hole shot. my boat loaded is pushing over 9000 lbs as we went with what the dealer figured weight wise on a 26 and figured a 21.5 pitch prop would be on nope couldnt get to the high rpm range so got the 19.5 on and it perfect. YES to a single more then enough power!

Yea it’s to bad really. Would make a great work boat or something if you didn’t give a shi$ what it looked like. Sucks they ripped the interior apart and the gelcoat is so rough

That one above would be way cheaper to work on for sure. Everything redone. Even if you repower engines.
Be surprised if that is still for sale. Of course need a trailer so add 2 price.
