Hey everyone! I took delivery of my unicorn 2005 262 this evening! I went from a 206 which I loved to this beast! I'm taken back how good the boat handles!
It has 415 hours, Merc 496 w/ a Bravo 3, captains call and a lot of other bells and whistles! Looking forward to moving into the boat and getting the most out of it with what's left of summer!

You meant 496 not 454. Nice WI boat.

Yes they are only a few miles from me. Big good company here. They are right by Neenah Foundry. Look at your sewer man hole covers. They are built right down the street.
Then look at your fire trucks. Pierce they are in my back yard. Any many more things in this tiny little town.

Thanks A7! The boat seems highly optioned. All the extra cushions (bow filler included), bow and cockpit covers, Cobalt full mooring covers, 2 tables, etc... Needs music though. Still has the original stuff. I'll work on that this winter. All the wood on the dash is still intact. I like that the captains chairs are on swivels. I've never seen this generation 262 like that.
Will have to work on pics more tomorrow. Started raining on me too quick tonight!

At one point I was in land development in South Florida. Worked for a company the did water, sewer, and drainage. Even that far south, we used Neenah manhole covers in some cities.

Yes that’s a sharp set up. And the swivel chairs are awesome to have a full lounge area!
Let’s see some more pics of those seats. Flip up bolster?

That’s a nice looking boat but send that trailer down here to me and let me make it match the boat

Do you need a trailer? A r5 trailer will work and I know where one is for sale but it wasn't Cheap.

Lol, no I have a very nice trailer.
That was my attempt at humor. I own a paint and body shop and could make the op’s trailer match his boat.

That was actually the yard trailer from the dealer I bought from. I will be keeping my eye out for a used trailer in the spring.
