Default 26 Prowler question

What is the last year of the 26 prowler? I don't seam to find any beyond 2003... I am basically looking for one equipped with a MERC 525EFI. I believe the 525EFI was available starting in 2004

What were the options on a 26 Prowler?: Could you get AC, FRIDGE, GENERATOR?

Thanks guys!

Good luck finding one with that power. I've personally only seen 2. Most had 502, 496, 454.

Not sure if you have owned a prowler or have bin on one but I wouldn't buy one without at least a 525 efi. That's just me personally. A guy that was on a poker run I went on last year had a 2003 prowler with a 525 efi and claimed it would do 75mph. I call b.s.

Thanks a lot guys!

I guess the big joke is that they are slow... I suppose I will be satisfied at a minimum if the 26 Prowler does 70MPH with a 525.

How come there aren't any after 2003? Did Sonic stop producing them?

They did make them after 2003. They are very slow. Used to drive me nuts!

I bought mine from Gary d and he hated the boat cause it was slow. I sold it for the same reasons and now the guy that bought it from me hates it for that reason.

How fast you wanna go? I'm getting ready to put my 1998 Prowler on the market. Only 300 hours on a 502 with a procharger/intercooler. It will touch 80 on the GPS. I replaced the heavy manifolds/risers with aluminum ones from Revolution Marine. Several props with the boat. Other than that, very stock ride. Annapolis area if you are interested.
