Above your target price, but may be worth a look.

2006 262 with 8.1 Volvo DP on a trailer. Has 384 hours. Extended swim platform. Bow and cockpit covers.

And another one that is close to Liquid's neck of the woods. Right price. Needs a bit of TLC but generally looks clean.

It is a Merc big block with a Bravo XZ (single prop) and doesn't have the extended swim platform. Not sure if that's a deal killer for you...

This one is a nice find ColinC. Worth serious consideration even if it does not have switchable captain's call or trim tabs. (but these can always be added later).

Are we still looking for a boat for surfed?
That Omaha one has been for sale for a long long time. I know someone that has looked at it and talked to him. From what I know he says it's over priced and he's not budging.

This is what happens when the wife makes you sell but you have no intention of letting it go.

I always wondered how/why people over price their stuff. I finally understand. :lol:

Mine is the total opposite. She doesn’t like going to boat shows because she only wants to look at one or two brands because everything else looks like crap to her.

+1! BC (before Cobalt) My wife couldn't care less, they all looked the same to her. Now she's better at spotting a Cobalt better than I am. It's become somewhat of a game.

Mine is the same way now. When we were looking for boats all I was looking at was Cobalt's and Formula's and she didn't get it. Then I dragged her to the STL boat show and after we looked at all the boats she says oh I get it now. Then 2 weeks later we went to the Springfield, MO boat show and all she looked at was the Cobalt's. I think I got her hooked.
