Just joined Team Velocity. Picked this one up last week.

Looking good! whats the details/setup? get some carpet on those forward bunks;)

Stuckonstupid 09-30-2019 11:12 AM

That’s a 280 not a 260.

PARASAIL941 09-30-2019 12:06 PM

Looked at it just long enough to make sure it was structurally ok. 280? The GOOD - Hull and transom super solid and gel coat v/g cond. All cockpit vinyl new ( bolsters , rear seat , headrests and sunpad). New Seadek in cockpit. Gauges and controls excellent cond. XR Drive looks almost new. Latham dual ram steering. Eng compartment spotless. 502 mag ,Team G , Look like 850 Holley , Roller rockers. Stainless Marine dry to transom exhaust. Everything spotless. The BAD - Seller hurt motor first time out. Loss of power, rattling. Still had 60psi oil pressure when limping back. He's an outboard guy , didn't try to diagnose , just said hurt. I couldn't pass it up at the price .

Yes, it’s a 280. I owned that boat 5-6 years ago.

PARASAIL941 09-30-2019 12:19 PM

Anything major when you owned it?

Stuckonstupid 09-30-2019 12:36 PM

No, but that isn’t the motor that was in it when I sold it. Not sure what drive is on it now but I put a bravo xr on in 2011. The crack in the nose was there when I bought it, I had the interior all redone, pretty big stereo etc. sold it back to the original owner in 14’ and it went to waste from there.

PARASAIL941 09-30-2019 01:13 PM

Looks like someone bought it from your guy and cleaned it up (did a great job!) to flip? Interior is blue w/ black accents ( have to change color of hull graphics to match), silver/grey Seadek floor in cockpit. No music , but I could feel speaker holes under new vinyl on rear seat base and noticed speaker enclosure.

Correct, there are holes for (2) 12” subs and (2) 6”x9” mids, and on each side panel there’s 2 holes each for (2) 6” mids for a total of (4) 6” mid range speakers and (2) subs. That’s what the interior looked like when I sold it. When I saw it pop up for sale a couple years ago I was shocked at how bad it looked.

Totally different now. Needs headliner and material upgrade in cabin.

What steering did you have when you owned it? What did it have for power? Sorry about all the questions, always curious about prior use. thanks

Stuckonstupid 09-30-2019 07:09 PM

Very cool! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Not sure if it will help or if you want it, but I have the original 502” that came in the boat when it was new, but it too needs (a lot of) work.

PARASAIL941 09-30-2019 07:16 PM

Thanks , I had just pulled a 502 out of a 24 Pantera project or I probably wouldn't have bought this. Where are you located and price.

I’m in Charlotte N.C., and at this point in time you can have it for cost of shipping. The bottom end is shot and the fuel injection is long gone. It’s basically a solid block with good heads.

Stuckonstupid 09-30-2019 07:29 PM

Feel free to give me a call with any questions about the boat. My # is 703-994-0074. There’s an interesting history to it.
