I finally feel like I got the boat I want now. I picked up this F26 on Thursday in havasu from a private party seller, it has a Teague 800 and it has 180 hours on the boat. Saturday we launched at pirates then spent a couple hours at the sand bar just chillin then we ended up in the Trump parade in the channel inadvertently lol. I can honestly say I have never drove a boat that is so stable and handles chop/boat wake so effortlessly. We are going to have DCB do a few small tweaks to the open bow for some extra storage and that’s it for now. So happy with this purchase 👍👍

Basically yes lol. I saw a unique opportunity this boating season and I made money on each boat.... I came out of pocket $1500 more than I sold my magic for so it was a no brainer 😂😂 I think if I would have sold the magic today it would have been $10k less right now so my timing worked out perfectly

She’s beautiful, glad it all worked out for you. So funny had i explained our thoughts of our F26 it'd be exactly what you said. Text me tomorrow your plans for ob storage as we really want something upfront vs just the floor locker and rear seat.

Very nice! Had a Mach 26 and that MFer stayed planted on the ass end in the rough. My buddies Magic cat would be all over the place.

Wow! Nice boat.
Only one problem...now you can't flip for upgrade boats 😂
Seriously, looks like you attained a major goal, good job!

There is definitely less storage than the magic but we will have DCB tweak it to our liking. We are going to have them widen the front seating area and get access to the sponsons for extra life jackets, noodles etc. they are also going to put the 2 front seats on Flip up hinges to get easy access to the storage under the canopies. Then we should be dialed.

Beautiful Boat! I really dig the twin canopy design on a walk thru, it’s a perfect design. Great wind protection , and convenience. The colors and engine package are OUTSTANDING! Congrats.

Sounds like a plan, this motor package is the shit !! Since you have the motor I’d say do it. You won’t regret it at all. My wife doesn’t like to go fast so when I’m with my daughter we like to try out the extra power 😂😂

@02HoWaRd26 just doit. Don’t tell her. Better to ask for forgiveness the man permission..
family member did a bunch of work to his boat and his wife didn’t invite for 3 trips until she realized why is it so loud now? Then when wiping the boat down she saw the changes she was happy with it haha
