Howard 26' High performance Cat Powered by a 496 HO 425 HP Engine with a Bravo One X outdrive, Howard boats are designed for performance. This boat was custom built by Howard Boats in California and was shown in the 2002 Los Angeles Boat Show and has ALWAYS been garaged and covered. It sat for seven years with no use...428 hours on engine. The boat was used only in fresh water and was cleaned and put away after every use. A detachable Bimini top is included to provide the shade. A dynamic feature of the vessel is the air entrapment center structure (similar to a tri-toon); however, it is a performance enhancement that keeps the boat flat on the surface, even in chop or hairpin turns. The ride is exceptional in relation to the speed. Howard in house design keeps their custom-built boats outperforming the competition, year after year. The speed, control, and overall drive=ability bring a brand-new feel to skipping across the water. On inspection, this vessel was found to be in show room condition and all systems were judged to be meeting the manufacturer's specifications. Really a one of a kind!!!
