We are looking to upgrade (already) and were looking at the 260s with generators, a good size entry level cruiser for the family to overnight on our local lakes. But after reading and some feedback from the great members on the site, we started looking at 280s.
I know there are a lot of posts on this, but I wanted to get some updated thoughts on this as well as some updated thoughts on price. The 2008 260 was bought new in 2010 and has 25 hours on it, really great condition and still under warranty, the only thing we will need is bottom paint as we will wet slip. The 2006 280 has 150 hours on it and is in good condition, just needs some cleaning. (Of course both need a survey, etc).
First I would like your thoughts on 260 vs 280 in general.
Second, your thoughts on 2008 vs 2006 (newer vs older).
Finally, your thoughts on if $65K is too much for the 08 260 or $75 is too much for the 06 280. Neither come with trailers.
Thanks in advance.
