That will be a nice runner. That's a fast hull.

What’s a fair price for a 03 226 with 6.2 and bravo 3, 450 hours, original owner and is very nice shape with all routine maintenance done yearly with receipts to back it up?

Its a low 20s boat. That's my opinion without seeing anything in great shape.
Other 226 guys may comment.

That’s right where it’s priced out. I know everything is kind of overpriced right now but I thought it was fair.
Seeking some Cobalt knowledge! So many model
#’s. I’m going to use it on an 1000 acre lake, mostly cruising, some tubing and skiing. 4-6 people in boat. Lake gets very choppy on busier weekends. Purchased a 4winns 180 with a 4.3 and 1 weekend in I knew I wanted something a little bigger. What models would you suggest? Looking to stay $25k or under.

I think the 226 will work for you. The 210 but I'm partial to the 220. I think it rides the best out of those.

I would stick with a 7.4 220 with CC, even about 5k less than the 226. The 20 something ladies say it sounds badass.

Spend the rest of your money on supplies
