summer squall
 
Anybody have any input on the 26' summer squall? good things....bad things.....what to look for on them. I found a 1992 (outboard model) that has my interest.

Thanks in advance,
Lance

A Thoroughbred....known today as a Velocity 280. Same boat, but a different dash, the summer squall has a dash like the VR-1.
Great boat..only thing I've ever heard was stress cracks would develop around the cabin entry way...which I heard was later address with the addition of Kevlar reinforcement in that area. Don't remember what year(s) had the problem...but that's not a structural issue, its a cosmetic issue. Can't comment on the outboard version, only been on and driven the sterndrive version.

My Summer Squall...

Great boat, same hull as 280. When they added the platform, they re-named it. As I understand it, these boats work well as OB's. PM me, I'll fill you in on the details.

How is your potential new boat powered? Twins?

bglz, you're boat looks awesome. The boat i'm looking at has twin 2.5's. I really hope this one pans out as advertised. Seems like this boat would be the perfect fit for me.
