Used 26 Sutphens with singles are few and far between and finding one in a pleasure version without power may have you on the sidelines for years. Your choices with that boat would be to convert an older twin to single or buy a new hull and power it with your stuff, which doesn't always make sense. Most of the older 26's I come across are mid to late 80's boats and most are in pretty good shape for their age.

I know a guy who has the last 26 Built. It currently has a 525. I know he would sell it perhaps with or without the motor. But he always wants TOP dollar for his stuff. The boat does have awesome paint.

Here it is. Scroll down

Very Nice!
Put me in touch please. It does not hurt to ask...

I'll PM you

I spoke to Rich Jr. today. He is on vacation with the family in Fla and did not have a chance to get back to me. He will build the old style 26' as a single or the new streched to 27' version. I'll know more on Monday.

What is he going to do to stretch it? I didnt know about this.

The boat will be 1 foot longer. He was on vacation so I didn't ask many questions. He'll get back to me/us next week.

I didn't know he had plans to do that. Keep me posted . Thanks

I had a 96 24 Superboat.
My friend has a 25 Active Thunder with a 502 that will run 70 GPS. These boats have a deep cockpit and a large cabin for a 25 foot boat. In rough water I would rather be on the Active.
