Recently acquired 1983 2600 Continental?
#1
I just recently acquired a 1983 26ft Tiara with a single 5.7 Volvo Penta set up with a dual prop outdrive. From what I have been able to find by looking up other Tiara boats of the same year or so, is it more than likely the 2600 Continental model. I haven’t been able to find a plate with a model number. I have tried to look up (free search)the HIN and it came back with the 2600 Continental as the model. I am having a hard time finding any manuals (repair/owners) to go with this boat online. Any help with that would be appreciated. I can’t wait to learn more about this boat. 

Thanks,

That picture is 1983 26' Continental.  23 Continental had only one port hole on each side.  27' Continental had 3 port holes on each side.
In 1984 Tiara moved the engine vents up above the rub rail.   23' & 26' were only made from 1983 until 1986.  The 27' was in production for another year or two to the best of my knowledge. 

I bought mine in 1987 from the original owner & still own the vessel.   I use my boat to fish Lake Erie on the Great Lakes just west of Cleveland, Ohio.

Old thread I know but I’m looking at the exact model. Do you happen to know the deadrise?

Thanks,
Jeremy
