There was a guy selling an older BigM out in Prospect KY.
It had the round portholes Stbd and Port
There was also one for sale at Dale Hollow Lake
Thank you for passing along this information. A lot of times when I do a search on the different search engines out there, it doesn’t list some of the examples other members of the forum have sent my way.
Thank you Balthaus and everyone else on the Forum.

I have a 26' hull/cabin and trailer if you are looking for a project, it is a blank slate. I was going to put twins in her and a modern cabin, but a 37' followed me home and the wife said I cant have both. I can email pics or I posted pics on the Marinette FaceBook page.

I can vouch that a 1965 26' is wider than 10' tried my hardest to fit my friends in a slip with a lift in it. There's not much difference in size between the 28 and 26 models. A couple inches here and there in different locations. This said the 26 boats are layed up very light compared to the 28s.

Was really looking for something a little bit more turnkey. I still got a little gas left in my tank but a "blank slate” boat will I’m afraid just leave me with a blank stare. But thank you for opening this possibility up to me. Greg

Sweeet! Nice looking cruisers. I will give these two a ring and see what the story is.
Thanks, Greg

Greg,
Checking out Nashville Craig's list a few minutes ago and found a 26' advertised. Lacking some info, I.e. Year, etc,and looks like the guy is guessing a little on beam. Nashville Craig's List item 5354801982, guys name is John, 615-351-2000. Temp in the 20's
In Tenn tonight, good time to buy a boat.

Regards and Merry Christmas,
