Wow ...263 with an abused childhood.

Post by AsLan7 »

:shock:

.
Talk about an abused 263....looks like she got lost on the wrong side of the tracks....at night...in the middle of a gang who was merciless to her. Makes me sad. 😞 😢😢😞

Maybe BBP can revive her and give her a loving family. :P

That's too bad. I wouldn't want that big of a project. 262 and a few years newer maybe with a stainless arch :-)

Well, there are 9 bids on it so someone thinks they can make her whole again.

Ouch! What does someone have to do to break a gauge and put gashes in the dashboard? Almost looks like it was underwater or a tree fell on it or something. The damage in the pics is not from "normal" wear and neglect....that boat has some stories to tell I think. :(

It can be fixed. I just don't want to sink that much time bringing it back to life.
It could be parted out to make money also.

I have a buddy that bought one somewhat similar. His interior isn't too bad but it had a hole under the starboard quarter and a crack about 4 feet long. It's been at the shop getting repaired since December. He got it bought for like $13k and will have about $3,000 to $5,000 In repairs, then he can bring everything else back as he goes.

It'll be nice again when he's done. Been there, done that..

Hey guys I’m the current owner of the boat. It burnt sink the original paper work is down in the cuddly and is dry I think a tree or something fell on it when it was sitting in the yard. The windshield is the main thing that needs to be replaced and a good cleaning. But main question I have is I see these boats going for over 40k with the Volvo penta is that average price right now?

This isn't bigblockpower posting as a stunt double is it? :lol: :lol:

Seriously though, you may be better off parting this boat out (similar to the 293 that is being parted out on eBay right now).

Excellent condition, less than 300 hour, FULLY loaded (think stainless arch and 2nd extended swim platform with all the amenities) late model ('05-07) 263's are selling in the low to mid 40's-- without a trailer.

It appears yours went thru a flood (interior water marks/mud stains in engine bay); was ransacked by thieves (gauges pryed up, radio and speakers gone); and flipped over (windshield & hull cracking damage).

Hurricane Irma have her way with her ? I mean, like pick her up from Florida and slam her down in Rochester? Man she was abused. :( :( :(

Yea that’s what happens while trying to post and drive lol.
Nope wasn’t ransacked by thieves. The gauge was broke by whatever fell on it wasn’t rolled over or flooded either but deff open to parting it out. Boat was originally titled in New York as well
