Is pretty much the same length as mine and almost 1700 lbs heavier. But time to plane is. 0657 seconds faster. How do they do that

Not very nice calling a mans new love "a pig". How's your practice backing into the garage going BBP?

She's not light.....maybe put on a bit of winter weight, I know I have gained the "Covid 19". Let's not judge....
It does list that as an "as tested" weight, so I have to believe the dry weight will be less....but yeah I am excited about the idea of needing a 3/4 Ton truck to tow a 24ft boat.

OK I'm an idiot, the dry weight is on that sheet...5,530. About 1,250 heaver than ours, basically the same length. I'll take my carpeted unfinished fiberglass interior compartments and save the 1k in weight?NautiGirl wrote: Tue Sep 21, 2021 7:28 amShe's not light.....maybe put on a bit of winter weight, I know I have gained the "Covid 19".

weight makes waves. This generation to me seems to be geared for water sports first. The last generation was a runabout that they retrofitted to be surf-able.

Yeah, they are overrated. Might as well cut it off with a box anchor.

Box anchor isnt the right tool for the job. If you are going to do it at least use a real anchor. I would recommend a fortress. Others on the forum would agree.TruckerTim wrote: Tue Sep 21, 2021 2:48 pm Yeah, they are overrated. Might as well cut it off with a box anchor.
