The 262 has crossed my mind also. Especially with how much they are asking for the 250 I want.

Thanks!!
AsLan7, is is the 375 horse. It should be fine for what I need.
Yeah everything is really clean on the boat. I have all the maintenance records, compression tests, etc. It is stored in a heated garage, used on a cold Michigan Lake and the guy is very picky about everything. It seems a lot of people don't have trailers for these boats. My wife and I want to check out some other lakes so a good trailer was a necessity. The boat has only 169 hours on it. Was it a little more than I wanted to spend, sure..was it more than I think it is worth, sure...but when looking at market prices for what it was, I paid a fair price for it and have a piece of mind that I got a great boat. I am trying to pick it up next Friday if the weather hold out.

Very cool klennop. The 375 horse is terrific in that boat. That's what my 262 had in her. She really gets up and goes with that engine. (I only mentioned it since I saw your thread above said 425.)
...& the memories you make on that machine with the family will give you the most peace of mind.
