Unicorn 263 anyone?

seems too cheap to me. The teak needs to be refinished and a few other things but the right motor for sure.

I wouldn’t call that a unicorn. The engine size is a start though.

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed A7? Pickle fork arch, filler cushions, 496mag ho. It’s a unicorn for sure!

Ha. Good one TG98. May just be the lake effect snow getting me this AM. But let me explain.

Those 260 series with the pickled fork arch are a little rarer but no unicorns.

The trifecta option selections on the 260 series that are very rare are the 1. 496MAG HO (or blue series engine w/B3 :mrgreen: (I've only seen one))... 2. EXTRA extended swim platform...and 3. STAINLESS wake-board arch for towing. These OEM items cannot be duplicated easily in the aftermarket world without great expense (if at all).

Now to make it a unicorn, add the Captain's Call, Trim Tabs, Transom Cushions, and Cockpit Heat options to the trifecta above. These items can be duplicated but some not as easily (ie cushions & heat) as others.

BTW, if you are fortunate, you might even catch a glimpse of one with the stainless wrap around windshield option (Samurai33 has one). :)

...and that my friend is a 2000-2007 260 Series Unicorn that so rarely can be seen in the boating wild. 8-)

Myself and I think the point here too was.
A Unicorn=something rare.
1- filler cushions.
2-A factory wakeboard tower removed or to be removed for sale
3-A swim platform removed for sale.
4-A cobalt brand chainsaw used to remove a 360 tower🗼😂😂

Ya. Just wanted to differentiate between rare and unicorn (pretty much nonexistent). This goes back to when I first posted about the 260 Unicorn 🦄 series here. 8-) We have first hand knowledge of a real unicorn hunt.

That being said, the chainsaw post is unique in itself. ....It’s a whole nutha’ type of unicorn 🦄 sighting. :lol:

I'm going to have to agree with you.

My feeling on the use of "Unicorn" on CC refers to a 260 (series) with a horn (that dope factory arch) with appropriate power plant and most importantly... cushion fillers.

Unicorn always stuck with me because of the "horn hunt".

I get the gist of referring to something rare as a Uni and how that could be confusing if you weren't around CC when all that was happening (or if you're BB).

I suppose we should anoint some other mythical beast for when we find something niche... like anything with a blue in the back... maybe a "Squatch" or some such.

For me though, clean 260's with the arch and a plant and a filler.
