UPDATE 4/4/2020: Just opened the
boat for the season and pulled up the
actual hours: 74.5!
Blue with silver stripe. This could
well be the optimum size and model boat
for family recreation. It is a deep hull
with massive stability. At just under 26
feet it will easily hold two families (it
is rated for 16 people). Yet it is fast
and handles extremely well. We purchased
it new from Modern Marine in Nashville,
then babied with the best waxes and
interior treatments for 3 years. Engine:
6.2L Mercruiser/Bravo III with 300 hp.
The boat is in like new/excellent
condition. We just don’t have time to use
it. We are an older couple, so the
boat was never WOT - we enjoyed cruising
at around 3,200 RPM (30 MPH), which is
pretty optimum for this boat/motor.
It has the original trailer provided by
Chap/Modern Marine as well as the full
cover. We only trailered the boat about 6
times before getting our slip. Our slip
has a lift, so this boat has never been
in the water for more than a 7 hour
boating day. The slip is fully covered,
so the boat has been well protected from
the sun. The bimini is in excellent/like
new condition – we didn’t want a boat
with a tower because they come with a
much smaller bimini. We have the original
carpets which are like new because we
didn’t use them. The head is equipped
with a camping toilet (factory) that has
never been used. The helm has the
standard analog factory gauges (shown in
my photo) including a depth finder. The
interior photos are stock pics since I
don’t have many pics of the inside (this
boat does not have a tower). Nothing has
ever broken on this boat (it has never
required service). It has been winterized
and de-winterized by professional marine
mechanics each year. I had the impeller
replaced last fall (ahead of the
maintenance schedule) as well as the gear
lube. The oil was changed after break in
and has been changed annually according
to the maintenance schedule. This boat
has only ever been on one lake, an Army
Corps of Eng freshwater lake called
Center Hill Lake in Tennessee – some of
the best quality lake water in the
country. All photos are current within
the last month except the stock interior
pics (bilge and engine photos are actual
and current, not stock photos). The boat
is paid off, so we aren’t under any
pressure to sell. MSRP on this boat was
over $100K. We were able to negotiate a
price of $82K from the dealer new in
2017. We will sell it for $65K.
