Thanks All. After selling my first boat (23’ Genesis), I was going to wait it out on buying a boat. When I saw this 26’ eagle I couldn’t pass it up.

Went to look at new boats and the price was a little scary. Plus was a little drawn back on one boat dealers rep who wrote down the boat prices on a napkin,,,reallly. Anyways I’m pretty frugal and very happy with this used Eagle.

Do you know what the total length will be on the trailer once you get the breakaway installed?

Dropped in off yesterday at Adrenaline, didn’t get a chance to measure. Took some pics prior to modification. My garage is like 29 1/2 with door closed.

I think you bought my old boat. I traded it in to Elimiinator back in 2006 for my 27 Daytona. Please PM me with the HIN so I can ck our records.

I have a 24P on it and it ran smooth today, I didn’t push it past 55. It got on in pretty fast, with the 26P you have how does it perform?

People have a tendency to want to over prop. With just you on a cool day with half tanks and no gear, I'm sure you might get a couple more MPH out of it with a 26. I have a 236 which is a 250 bottom and somewhat lighter than a 260, and find that with gear, fuel and 4-6 people in the heat of the day, the 24 B-1 is a better all around prop than the 26. You want to be able to hit the rev limiter slightly, which is 5,150 rpm on the 496 ho, if you can't you're lugging and putting extra strain on the motor. Nice ride BTW.
