Not to put any un-do pressure on TG, but the sticker price does increase dramatically each and every year..🥴.
So, if you can cut a good deal and buy new, you may want to act now.

Remember, the price goes up 8-10k per year. The longer you wait, the more expensive it gets..
..unlike these other spend happy men and woman, I’m just trying to save you money!

JUST RIP OFF THE BAND-AID.. it only hurts for a few seconds, and then the pain is replaced by this.....

Haha if only I had your money T! I’m waiting on some funds to come in for my year end bonus then the hunt might be on!

This is a serious question...take me through the upgrade decision. What is the 262 lacking that you get in the upgrade to the R7?

Good one AJ. Here is my thought.

Things I would get on an R7 that my 262 does not have.

More power. I’d get the 430hp option as my boat only has 375.

More room - R7 is longer and has more interior space than my 262 with the way they design the hull.

Windlass - we anchor a ton and I’m constantly fighting to get the anchor to catch.

Warranty - I’m a IT guy not a mechanic. If something goes wrong with my boat. I call the harbor and tell them to just send me a bill. (Last year I put about 1500 into my 262 between repairs and routine maintance) I’m going to assume with the age this will be about the normal.

With my 262 now being 17 years old it is going to need a full interior upgrade in the next year or 2. All the snake skin vinyl is starting to crack and as someone that has put vinyl in 3 boats now. I know what that costs.

Lastly we bought the 262 on a budget because we just bought our lakehouse and were unsure on how much use it would get. Last summer I put close to 90hrs on the 262 so I’m at a point where I feel I can buy that boat I keep for 10 years. Or at least that’s what i’ll tell the wife.

These are the 2 I have picked out.... not sure about the yellow stripe on the navy hull. Wish it was more gold like the blue angel

[akorcovelos]

Digging the bottom one. Classic and will still look modern 10 years from now.

[Big Block Power]

I like the top one. For some reason I feel like I've seen it before or real close to it. I'm sure they could come up with Citron yellow. Where's the anchor

[jma2@fuse.net]

Bottom one--timeless and classic combination. Also, the black on the tower completes the "up-stripe" on the stern, and gives the boat nice visually appealing lines. You will get tired of the yellow stripe in no time. Finally, are you a Michigan fan? Being from Ohio, a yellow stripe and navy would be interpreted as Michigan colors--go Bucks.

[tgrace98]

It is citron yellow. I’ve noticed their colors on the site are a little off. I could also do the standard boot stripe on the yellow instead of the boot with the edge.

And for some reason when you add windlass it doesn’t add it to the picture. Same with tower speakers. There will be 2 tower speakers there too

[Big Block Power]

On my phone the bottom looks black. I kind a like the flip phone look. I don't think the boot stripe will get old. I like it.

Haha no I’m from Missouri so I support Mizzou but am a SEC football lunk in general. You know where real football is played

Nice. Don't you think the table would be nice? Just a good place to put cups when your just talking?
I think that is crazy what they get for the tower speakers.

TGrace, forgive BB...he's not a pro at this drinking thing...you sit and talk WHILE holding your beverage of choice...ie: lemonade!

But a table could be nice for boat snacks!
