250 Walkaround

1988–92

EDITOR’S NOTES: Introduced in the late 1980s, this well-built fishing boat may be showing her age but she’s still a lot of boat for the money. Highlights include a roomy cockpit, fish boxes, fairly wide walkways, rod storage, rounded livewell. Deep-V hull can be a wet ride in a chop. Note opening windshield. Fuel increase in 1991. A full-transom/bracket version (the 250B/253B) was available in 1990–94. Top speed in the mid 40s with twin 150hp outboards.
