Personal impressions

 

This boat runs and looks great. The added comfort of the pilot house configuration is a game changer warm or cold.  I have owned the boat for a short time from August of 2024 to present.  The Vineyard and surrounding waters will put any boat through its paces.  This boat has handled all sea conditions very well for its size and the ride is excellent.  Seller’s remorse is setting in.  Only reason the boat is being listed is to move up to another larger pilot-house boat for canyon trips.  The 290 pilots are hard to find in good mechanical and cosmetic condition. Took me two years and several frustrating experiences trying to find this one.
