No problem. Anytime. The 260 will not disappoint you. The room inside and the ammenties are unparalleled in a boat this size. I hardly ever use my tabs. It definately thinks it is a bigger boat when it gets out in the rough stuff. I did five+ miles, throttle on the dash, a few weekends ago, in consistant 3-4 footers on the Potomac; not one sneeze. That was the first time I really wished I had 250 more HP. It is heavy, and be prepared for that when you go to tow it. 102 gallons of fuel adds up too, (600+ lbs). (My boat with a full tank of fuel, all gear, and both covers, on the trailer, weighed in at 7280 lbs!!!) If you go to www.sonicboatsusa.com, and look at the specs, they are still the same as the 99 you are looking at. There are several of these boats in NY who are owned by members of this board.

ITS is a 7" set back integrated transom system with hydraulic steering built in. It is brand new from Merc and promises to be a great addition. It should add a mile an hour on the right kind of hull and is only available with the XR/XZ drives.
Hope that helps.

75mph, maybe close, but nope. Sydwayz can atest to that. I am curious as to the speed Dano saw with the 500EFI/ITS.
Dano was it the newer hull design, well i shouldnt say new hull, i meant, same mold but different layup?
