Default Fw 260 h

I own a '14 260 H and as one forum post already mentions the boat is closer to 24' and with the dive platform in the back reaches 26'. The dive platform makes the boat much safer as it completely covers the outdrive. That said, it is an excellent performing boat and extremely well engineered albeit with a slightly rougher ride than our previous 2002 260 H. If you keep the trim low in the water it's a much smoother ride. One aspect I'm not crazy about is that this boat has no trim tabs so occasionally I need to move people around to even out the ride. Of course, the service at Melvin Village Marina is second to none and I've been doing business with them for 20 years now. Got a very good deal on trade in and purchase of the '02 and '14. Overall, high marks.
