So i must say the 262 newer models have peaked my interest. Found a few on boattrader that are in the 60s range peice wise and from what i can tell there is as much room and size as the 276. So am i right this model changed in 09 to its most recent style? This might hold me over until A28s are more affordable.

This thread has morphed from opinions on a boat to just help me find a new boat!

Heartland marine down at lake of the ozarks has a nice 2013 262 you might want to check out. It’s in your price range. And FYI they deliver for free to table rock 😜

How about $80? Just because they list it for that they will take less.

Thats 21 yr. Old bourbon....and costs a couple grand for a bottle if you can find it.

I havent seen any for less than 89k and id doubt they come down that far. What you think? In all honesty i think spending 60sh on a boat with the same size probably makes more sense anyway. The bling and look factor aside.....

Whoa....aj....nice find!

Boat looks like its been exposed to saltwater and not cared for. Engine has lots of topside corrosion to me. Explains price. What you all think?
