Private seller. Southeast Connecticut. Asking $27,900.

Purchased new in 2006 and exclusively used on Newfound Lake in New Hampshire. Great family day cruiser, with room for 11 passengers. Volvo Penta 5.7, dual prop engine/outdrive has less than 300 total hours. Kevlar/fiberglass hull. Dual battery set up. Boat is in good condition. Mechanically very sound and strong. Seats in good shape. Just detailed exterior and repainted stern drive.

Bimini good shape, dual ice chests, nicely set up for a day out on the water, and included are water skis, ropes, and float.

Vessel has class leading size swim platform featuring a large sun pad and cocktail style seating.

Bimini top in good shape, custom snap in cockpit carpet.

Cruises comfortably at 50+ MPH, this has been a fantastic family boat. Serviced and stored by Newfound Marina on our lake.

Priced to sell. NADA average retail is $28,730 but given the low mileage and condition, we feel we've priced it fairly. See the NADA website or copy/paste this link for pricing: https://www.nadaguides.com/Boats/2005/C ... lues/Print

*** Trailer included in the sale of the vessel and in good condition ***

AsLan, only selling b/c we sold our lake home in New Hampshire (got the proverbial "all cash" offer we couldn't refuse...) and we're going to relo towards Florida at some point. For now, boat is at our house in south eastern Connecticut. We're on the water, but a bow rider isn't what I want on Long Island Sound. We'll pick up another boat once we settle on where we want to be!

I was just at a Cobalt dealer in north east CT today, picking up a part and they've sold 2 of the same 226 model boats (with more hours) this summer for $31k and $35k or more. I know I'm likely underpricing but do think it is priced to move. We've never had a problem with the boat (other than impeller replacements - as expected) and hope a good family gets to enjoy her next!

Have you considered consigning with them? May be more money in it for you without the headaches!! Our dealer is asking all the time for consignments
