Nice progression,is that the one with the 275 Merc on it?Good luck with it,you will love it,they build a great boat.

Indy 07-25-2015 08:49 PM

Solid boat, Progression makes a quality product for sure.

Congrats!!!

Is that the one from Seaford?

Speedracer29 07-26-2015 03:23 AM

Thanks, I'm pretty excited. Ok, really excited. Yes, it's the one with the 275 on it, from the Seaford-ish area. The water out there was too glassy to really put the hull through its paces, so I brought it to the Great Lakes for some real rough water. :poopoo:

Welcome to the club - the Progressions's on the Great Lakes Club that is!

Looks like you picked up your boat at Wantagh park boat ramp, I know of a couple nice progressions right around there ;-)........congrats on the new boat! Well made boat enjoy

GEORGE YURICK 07-26-2015 11:18 PM

Very nice boat....What did you wind up paying for it?? I was wondering why he removed the listing..... did he still have the spare powerheads and gearcases for it??

There wasn't a whole lot of negotiation from asking price, but I paid to get what I wanted- outboard, bracket w/platform, k-planes, high deck, stand up bolsters, big sunpad, and the right color combo. It will be my last boat for a while (until I come to grips with $600/mo for a AT Savage down the road). I've been through 5 boats in 4 years trying to get the "right" boat for me, this is right for me now. I ended up with both powerheads, cowls, 2 mids and lowers. I kept imagining a 300xs on the back, but looking at all the hardware in my garage, it's hard to justify a repower right now.

Yeah i know he was pretty firm on his price but the boat is a really nice piece...I loved the bracket, outboard, color combo ETC as well....When i saw the boat was 2 years ago and he wanted alot more money....I think at the most recent price with all the extras the boats well worth it...solid as a rock and so well cared for....What kinda speeds you seeing with it so far??

at least u didnt buy this onehttp://i60.tinypic.com/110g9di.png

Too Stroked 07-27-2015 08:18 AM

I think you're going to find that boat is right at home on the Great Lakes. It will absolutely eat 2' - 3's and when it gets even rougher, you'll be amazed what she'll do. I can't tell you how many bigger boats couldn't keep up with my little 22 Progression when it got rough. And 23 years after it left the factory, I still haven't managed to break it!

I bet you wish you would've kept that one. Those pics made my stomach turn when I first saw them.


George- we saw mid 50's with 4 ppl and full fuel, but I haven't driven a pad bottom in a few years and didn't want to freak out the passengers. I didn't get back to MI until 3am yesterday, and as much as I wanted to run it and test props, the wife had other plans.

A. Do I get a sticker?

B. Now that I'm a member, can you point me to the "which prop I should be running" area?

That's the one from Baltimore CL! I talked to another local boater out there that casually knew the boat, he said it was in excellent shape. Congratulations! That thing should carry the mail.

George sorry to hear that your new boats transome was found to be soggy. However someone told me it was for sale my nephew is looking for a 27' Progression and Christmas is coming I figured I'd save you the hassle of getting it fixed and since you love Mercurys you could keep the motors tell you what I'll give you $9,000 cash and pick it up this week let me know if your interested......
