Saw I had 14k listed. Will Take 10k.
Can Anyone help with posting of photos? I do have them uploaded. When asked for the URL of the pics to attach, I would go to the uploaded photos area and right click for properties to get the URL of the pics.:idea: What am I doing wrong?

Without correcting this whole thing, there are few details that should be made clear for possible buyers. DUNTOV 30/30 camshaft (solid lifter), WEIAND manifold.
Nice boat. These are sturdy lake cruisers.

I actually had started looking at these models. At the time, I figured it was the only way I would be able to afford a 26' boat. But, that - and my budget - grew bigger.
I've been fine. Run into a crony or two of yours a day - it seems. :mad:
Bump for the boat.

Thanks for that info very much. Was going to check their site. Just got in to town. Dont know what to think about that price, flattering I guess. I hate having to sell something, pain in the ass sometimes, figured it was easier brokering the boat. Have you had any problems with them? Would appreciate any advice when selling a boat this way.
Thanks for the bumpin.
Not really into motors to much but it does run real nice. With a little bow lift it soaks up anything it hits.
Parked the Sleek to ride on something more equipped for the good ol crash and burn.

very nice. in debate ourselves on the classic or a pontoon. love yours though for sure. 16k if you want just my honest opinion. crazy. not in this market. i just sold a 2000 27' advantage victory open bow. custom to the hilt with 5k in the stereo alone last year. i barely got 40k and it was spotless. so with that said. i've never heard anything bad with them. but if you do the math and the market values of all their boats, they are all 5 to 6k over priced in order to deal i am sure. you are taking many interested people away from the idea of your boat by selling her that way. 10k, and again, it's only my opinion, unfortunatley was more realistic with a tad on the high side. but heck, if you don't have to sell her and have an awesom crash and burn boat too. then just wait until the right offer comes along. she is the best looking one i have seen in about 2yrs.
good luck
and be safe!!!!!!!!!!!
