Default Looking at a 26 Rum Runner this weekend...

Gonna check out the 26 RR someone posted on the CL here...
Curious if there is anything I should be looking for or at??

What kinda speeds would this boat run with twin 200 O/Bs?
I already know from reading everything here it'll be a great rough water boat...
Also, what do you think this boat is worth if everything checks out??

Heres some details...

2 freshly rebuilt 2.5L 200hp O/Bs
CLE gearcase
new waterpumps
4blade merc props

lathem steering
stainless marine bracketry
new interior
trailer incl
supposedly ran 70s with 3 blade chopper

No, not yet... Contemplating making an offer but not sure what its worth, considering options and age of those motors, etc.

It had a pretty decent hull with a few scratches here and there, nothing major... Interior, upholstry and everything looked good.
Engines were rebuilt in 2000, but not 100% sure what was done, didnt have time to pick apart the receipts... But at this long its been so long theyre plenty used in my opinion?

I would think you would be looking at 70-73 or so with stock 200's and a three bladed wheels. Depends on where the have the X set at. 4 blades were always slower but they did provide a little better control up stairs. With 2.5 OS I ran 86-87. That was with Mazco wheels. I think they are no longer around? 26 is a great boat!
