My wife and I did our sea trial yesterday on the 04 260 we are purchasing. I was very concerned after reading many of the reads about the boat's power, a 5.0L MPI engine. After sea trialing the boat yesterday that power is more than enough for our needs (wife, 5 year old, 1 year old, and myself). WOT got me to 33 knots in 30mph winds in a fairly nice chop. We have a 2004 245 Weekender with a 5.0L NON-MPI. The MPI makes such a difference. I just touched the throttle and the boat moved. My boat seems like a tank compared to the 260.
Although I would have liked to at least have the 5.7L engine I'm fine with this knowing it's not my last boat. Heck we just bought our 245 last year and already we're trading it. This one we'll keep for at least 2 or 3 years.
Thanks for everybody's input. Here's looking to an 4/11 delivery date!
