Default Seems like the used boat market is cash poor....

Check out this listing....

1995 Regulator 26 Center Console Boat For Sale

Dunno about hours or anything, but this boat is cheap, and I'd straight away rip the engines off and bolt on some used 200 HPDI's.

This economy has come up with some great deals.

Heck, there's a repo'd 2003 26Reg with F225's for 45K on yachtworld now. It may sale for more or less, who knows....

2003 Regulator 260 Boat For Sale

Man, times are bad for folks who didn't think....

Yep, buyers market alright. Wish I had the coin for a boat. Like the looks of that ’03 listed in your link.

Need to replace the old farm truck before looking at boats. Hope to be able to ‘score’ a good deal later this winter on a “new to me” ’06 or ’07 model. Probably will loose what I save when selling the old truck though.

Keep the "Old Farm Truck". The 7.3 has a LOT better track record than the 6.0...................

The old girl has a 351 gasser in her. She's a '96 I bought in '99.

Sorry Don, planning on going to the 'Dark Side' - 5.9L

The market for the most part is a buyers market. Unfortunally, some people are so upside down in their boats, they can't sell it for what a buyer really wants to pay. That's when it ends up going into foreclosure. That Reg is sure a sweet ride. Buy a trailer to fit it and youd be set. Don't think that will last too long

You're right about the truck wrapped around it.

I was thinking the same thing Matt. I just had an inspection canceled because the price the seller agreed to had to be OK'd by his bank, and the bank said no thanks! YIKES! That guy must be seriously upside down.

Wish I had the money as there are some great deals out there in boats and homes. That Regulator is sweet.
