Owner Experience Review
Owners use the 260BXprimarily for family day-cruising and entertaining, leaning on its roomy bow and convertible Ultralounge to seat a crowd comfortably. The enclosed head in the passenger console makes short overnights feasible, supported by a freshwater sink and abundant cockpit storage. Many examples are fitted with premium trim and a Fusion stereo, and theRegalfinish quality draws praise, though a few report longevity issues with certain trims—one owner noted, "the leather ish cloth on the one bench seat in the cabin is peeling away. It's a known issue."
On the water, the stepped hull with roughly 21° of transom deadrise gets the boat on plane quickly and helps reduce drag for efficient cruising. With a single 300 hp outboard (commonly a Yamaha F300), owners report a responsive, sporty feel, about 30 knots at cruise and around 45 knots at the top on F300-equipped examples. Handling is confident in calm-to-moderate chop, but it is not positioned as a heavy-offshore blue-water hull—one owner summarized it as "meant to hang around local bays," while another reported taking hundred-mile trips when weather allows. Maintenance is straightforward for an outboard setup: routine service and lower-unit checks are recommended, lift/rack storage helps limit corrosion, and some owners flag increased warranty activity in recent years, making strong dealer support important.
Pros and Cons
- Spacious bow and convertible Ultralounge seating suit family day-cruising and entertaining.
- Stepped hull and ~21° deadrise deliver quick planing, efficient running, and a sporty feel in calm-to-moderate chop.
- Single Yamaha F300 outboard provides responsive acceleration, about 30-knot cruise and roughly 45-knot top on reported examples.
- Not a heavy-offshore blue-water hull; it is best for bays and fair-weather passages.
- Some owners report trim and upholstery longevity issues, including peeling on a bench seat.
- Owner chatter notes elevated warranty claims on recent years, so attentive dealer support matters.
