Today I went and looked at my first 265, a 2001 model with Z200's and alot of nice options. The boat was in good shape for the age, some worn out cushions, few spider cracks in the corners, roughed up edges on the hard top, rusty sink drains, mildew in some of the tight compartments; but overall in good shape. Are there any particulars things to look for in a 265? The boat is priced ok, but with no trailer I'd have to come in low on my offer, the motors appear in good shape, but the tach gauges w/hour meters only show 35hrs, owner claims they were replaced a while back and says the boat has only about 300+. Do Z200's have the ability to get computer print outs of the total hours like F225's? I would have to have the boat surveyed for sure, but any tips on the model would be great for
owners.
Really loved the layout, I've been thinking of going with another CC, but after seeing how much room
is under the top it really fits my niche of cold weather fishing.
How does that hull handle tight 3ft chop? Ocean swells too, but i see more chop than anything else where I fish.
Thanks for any input.
