Just curious how fast people have got the 260 to run with what engines? I just put a 700 hp 496 in mine. Still working on dialing it in but its pretty fast.

I have run a bunch, The one my friend has will run 72 with a 496 375 hp and a 26 bravo.

2006 260 with a 375hp merc 496 ran 66.8 (gps) with 3 people and lots of gas.... how fast have you gotten yours so far?

We ran 70 with 2 people and 1/4 tank. hitting the rev. lim. at the toys for tots run 2 weeks ago I had a 260 with a 310hp 454 back in 1998 and it ran 66 mph. I think the fastest one witha 375 hp was Bill applejuice mixions it ran 73 with a hot rod 27 hydro. by Mike at hulls.

Bill mixions boat was a 260 with a 496 375 hp.

Did Bill live in Ft. Meyers on the river? Purple , yellow, orange graphics? Wrote articles for Poker Runs America?

No Bill lives in orlando. I know who you are talking about but I cant rem. his name.

I bought my boat from Bill Jennings. He lives in Ft. Meyers. The boat used to have a 375/ 496. He wrote a review on it in Poker Runs America magazine in 2005. Volume 8, Number 8.
Says it Ran 74.3 in the article.

Guess I had the wrong Bill. Saw you were in Ft. Meyers and thought it might be the same Bill.
