Hi: New to site because I am looking at a 1998 26.6 fiesta vee with fresh water cooled 5.7 merc thunder bolt ignition 250hp (carburated).  Is this a rarity to find as OEM from factory.  The owner is the second and said as far as he knows this is how original owner bought from dealer. Boat is supposed to be mint with approx. 250 hours.  Owner says no hour meter(?).  Price is 23k no trailer.  I just sold my 30' Searay Weekender because my 9 year old wants to tube and ski.  Original thoughts were to get something around 24' with outboard and trailerable even though I have a slip. As expected the wife knew she would give up some creature comforts but it seems all obs' are really set up for fishing so we keep moving up in size and then to an I/O.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
