This might not be the right time of year but I'm throwing this out there in hopes of generating some responses. I'm looking for a 22 or 24 progression ld with outboard power. Let me know what you have. Thanks.

I've had some interesting replies. My choice at the moment would be a 24 outboard

I live in rochester. My home is on a tributary of lake ontario. There is access to the lake if your boat isn't too large.We get out on the lake as often as possible. It's a tricky body of water. It can be flat calm one minute and two ft chop the next.

No mistake,can take that progression anywhere.They run great in calm or rough water,and their construction is second to none.

No just stirring the Christmas pot. Progressions run great with Mercury power.

I know two stroke. He's one of the reasons why I decided on a Progression. I use to have an Apache. Nice boat but a bit on the heavy side.

I own a 24 Progression. I also owned a 21 Superboat bought it new in 1981. To me the two boats are night and day. Your making a smart move. Good Luck.

George has a new motor for his 24 SB and Kev has a mod vp motor for his stv and I hopefully will be in the hunt and if the Boss will give us the weekend we all should be there. Will be great seeing you guys and sampling the latest moonshine:D

Took delivery Sunday afternoon so I did have much time or much light. 333886333886

I need to learn how to type. Only had about an hour of light left so I only took a few shots. The interior matches the gel. Boat had a 250XS Merc mounted on a detailer plate, Steering is Sea Star. The buckets are the Progression high-back version which I find unusual. Bought from the original owner. He had a long check list of stuff from Progression along with all of the original documentation. Boat came with two covers. It is really in fine shape for a 2006. I need to do little things like replace snaps and some cleaning. It has Smart-Craft gauges. I was told the fuel gauge needs to be programed. Not sure what that means but I've got all Winter to figure it out. Prop is a 28 pitch Trophy Plus.Owner says it runs about 82 mph. Overall, I'm pretty pleased.

That is one sweet looking rig, it sorta looks like goneby's first boat with the red painted in in the boxes and deck.

Got a reply from someone on the board selling a 27 Progression. Beautiful boat but just too big for me. I asked if he knew anyone selling a 22 or 24. He did and the rest is history so to speak. I believe Kevin may have taken the details of this boat so that it might be brokered through Progression The owner hadn't list it and frankly wasn't sure he wanted to sell it. I'm really happy to have it. I had a 22 Apache before this one.

Thanks for all your good wishes. I've had nothing but good luck on Scream and Fly over the past 14 years. Happy New Year.

I went out boating today in my 24. I replaced the engine over the winter with a 225 optimax. So far so good.
