260 Sls
 

Is this the same as a 260 SX but in a bowrider configuration? I'm interested in this. Anyone live near Coopersville?

It's about an hour away from me what do you want to know

Yep ,,same as the 260 cuddy

I drive past it everyday. This boat has been for sale for over a year, if it wasn't for the paint I'm sure it would have sold by now. My buddy was going to buy it but his wife hates the lighting graphics. He's been looking for another one for 2 months but cannot find one (open bow).

Well the spouse and family have decided to declare "mutiny" and do not like the Lavey Craft. They said it's too much performance and not enough family. Since I loved my 260 and the biggest problem was space, I might go this route. I'm still trying to fight for the Nuera, but probably going to lose.

I called the place it was at, the guy told me he wasn't sure it had an hour meter, ummmm really? If someone who lives near there would not mind just doing a look over or could snap some pics of the bilge. Is it possible to put bolsters in and still drive it standing? I've had 5 surgeries on my back and sitting irritates the hell out of it while on the water underway.

I have the Lavey on powerboatlistings and craigslist, and I'm in no hurry to sell it, so I'm not going to get aggressive with trying to sell it via paid sites until later. If the PQ has been sitting so long, that's a good thing, possibly, maybe not.

Most likely the proper reinforcement is not glassed in under the floor for bolsters so not sure you could make that swap (even if you could find a set of PQ bolsters). Depending what's where under the floor, you might be able to cut access holes in the floor to allow you to insert some backing plates under each bolster foot. One thing I noticed in the SLS was the seatback height of the rear bench is really low. I found the seat to be OK for kids but uncomfortable for adults. I don't remember the seatback being that low in the 260 cuddy.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, if I would have to cut, glass in some reinforcment and then fix the floor. I'm not worried about the bench height, I would put some head rests in the hatch anyway.

Time to do your 300 mid cabin conversion...

It was sitting back out front today when I drove by Skipper Buds. I think they have 5 Powerquests sitting out front right now.

It's close to being the same as the cuddy version but the cockpit is farther forward to allow for more room for the L shaped rear seat. To my knowledge, it doesn't have the standup bolsters like my SX.
