SeaVee
260
2002–06
The SeaVee 260B is a killer boat. you can get 2 mpg with it all day long and its not a wet boat for a 25 ft boat. They don't build them anymore and they can be hard to find on the used market.”
“The running surface is essentially the same as the 25. They changed the cap and turned it into a euro transom. Pretty much the same layout on the interior. Tons of storage. Upgraded console from the 25 to the modern SeaVee style with the flip up front.”
