This is a great rig-Not fished hard or trolled much. Ride is as advertised. Very seaworthy. We got caught this summer 40 miles off in a big thunderstorm with my brotherFinsy and other brother plus 3 nephews and never felt unsafe. We were able to ride it out on the hook(with all line out).
The phone booth enclosure (back pieces from console ****** havent been on the boat since finsy bought the rig-I know this Dec when it was 20 and we were cruising 30+ we asked Finsy were were the wings and he said at home !
If I wanted a bigger CC with twins this would be the rig for me(at the price asking)
Don't take this personally but WHO in their right mind would give you $48,000 for your '02 266 Sailfish (not even a 2660) when THEY could buy the McKee for $60,000???Anyone who can come up with $48K for yours can come up with $12K more for the McKee.

will consider trading up to a 28ft -30 ft quality centerconsole . prefer yammi power f250s w/warranties ,trailer is also good but not a deal breaker. good elects a plus . also like 31berts ,blackfins etc . I hold the title to mine and dont finace my toys . boat needs to be clean mechanicly like mine
2002 -266 sailfish w/ 06 f150s yammis
