Pat,
That boat is the sister ship to my old '96 26
You'll love it.
BTW, with the 502/415 motor you should have no problems running in the low 70's, mid 70's on a good day. My old 26 ran a solid 85 with a massaged 454 / 540 in it spinning a 26P Lab Bravo 1 @ 5600 rpm. If you don't see those numbers then check the hull for hook. I've seen some of the 280's with a little hook and that can cut 5 mph off your top end. With those K planes you can get away with a perfectly flat rear section or even a little rocker.
