Owner Experience Review
Owners tend to run the 2600fromCENTURY BOATSas a true dual‑purpose platform: a family dayboat with occasional overnights and a capable offshore fishing rig. With a deep‑V hull of about 20 degrees at the transom, it has a big‑boat feel, tracks steadily, and several reviewers note it handles head seas with confidence; one owner even remarked that “the boat drives like a champ.” Many reports call it relatively dry when properly powered—twin Yamahas are frequently recommended—yet there is at least one owner post describing it as an extremely wet 26‑footer, so sea state, loading, and setup matter.
Below, accommodations are sensible for the size: a convertible dinette/V‑berth with roughly 6'4" headroom noted in reviews, and an optional small marine head for weekend flexibility. In the cockpit, owners appreciate the double‑wide leaning post with tackle drawers, integrated livewell, and plentiful rod storage, supporting serious angling. It is trailerable but heavy for a 26‑footer and demands a substantial tow vehicle and ample clearance. On older boats, watch for localized deck issues around the console, corrosion in stereo/electronics in humid cabin/bilge areas, and tight access to bilge pumps; early threads also mention warranty/service complaints on A/C and some electrical items, so verifying dealer support on used examples is prudent.
Pros and Cons
- Deep‑V ride with a steady, big‑boat feel that handles head seas well.
