Owner Experience Review
Owners run the 265 ExpressfromEDGEWATERfor inshore/offshore saltwater fishing and family weekend cruising. Listings and forum threads also frame it as a short-overnight boat, with accommodations for up to four and one head; many examples are trailered or rack-stored, though some are kept in wet slips.
On the water, feedback centers on predictable, confidence-building manners for a 26' express. The hull is reported to settle well and deal with chop (24° transom deadrise cited), and several owners call the twin Yamaha 200–250/225 setup a “perfect motor/hull match” with responsive power and a comfortable helm feel at cruise. Anglers consistently praise the cockpit and deck for usable fishing space.
Comfort is weekend-oriented rather than liveaboard: a compact, functional cabin with an aft bunk, a port-side head, and a basic galley works well for quick trips. Ownership notes emphasize that routine outboard service can add up, and many listings highlight engine history, exhaust work, or full repowers as selling points. Boats kept in wet slips can see faster electrical/corrosion wear than dry-stored examples, which some owners recommend to reduce long-term issues.
Pros and Cons
- Predictable handling and a hull that settles well in chop foster confidence underway.
- Strong motor/hull pairing with twin Yamaha 200–250/225 outboards delivers responsive power.
- Compact but functional weekender cabin (aft bunk, port-side head) and a cockpit praised for fishing space.
- Routine outboard maintenance can be costly due to numerous filters and service items.
- Engine history, exhaust work, and repowers are common value points that buyers should verify closely.
- Wet-slip storage can accelerate electrical and corrosion wear versus dry storage.
