260 Prowler
#5
I've had mine for 20 years. I don't think there's anything I would change about it. the layup is good, I had a table put in the cabin so you can sit down there and eat and the sun isn't beating on you. one thing I've noticed in the boats I've owned is you don't hear any squeaks or rattles. mine has never had stock power in it. last year I was running 85 with it. over the winter I put a 540 in it with a Teague stage 4 cam, never got a chance to put it the water yet but on the hose it sounds nasty. I'm thinking I should be able to tickle 90.was cruising at 55 at around 36-3800 rpm's. any questions I'm here for ya. Dave

This popped up on one of my Facebook groups today. I know nothing about it, just passing along:

As a life long cuddy cabin guy, the Prowler is done really, really well.
For a 26' boat, its tuff to beat and compares well to most 30's.
Interestingly, while living in Fla I was interviewing for a job at the newly reborn Sonic in Ft Pierce. to get their attention I towed down my newly restored 24' twin O/B Sonic.
They showed/offered me a completed Prowler that didnt have power yet. I was interested in converting it to twin O/B.
Should have bought it
On speeds, all the ones Ive seen run very low 60's w/stock power and high 60's w/decent power.
