It did very well.. Pontchartrain can get pretty nasty for even big 30+ fts.

25 is big enough, if you can afford a 30 with twins go for it.

my motivation is b/c I have small kids (4 &7) and everything is rough for them so having a few extra feet, we could go out in most conditions rather than watching wind conditions so much!

If it weren't for the kids, I would just put a blower or 540 in it to pick up a few extra mph!!

We also go to ship island several times a summer and wanted the extra cockpit space and saftey of a 2nd engine b/c we often bring another family and they ride with us.. no other boats...

May end up doing that.. but man it would suck missing this season! I would have to wait till winter. A 302 would also fit the bill but must have mags and windscreen and hard to find? I do like the 29 also so it depends on the deal and a 29 would be more managable for tow vehicle and parking spot....

That 29 Outlaw from Quebec with the Green and black graphics is a real nice looking boat

I wiould love a 33 but its probably unrealistic as my parking spot will be a little jammed...

it will have to wait till I move to house navigable water.

I dont think parking a 30 footer or a 33 is much different. in reallity, that 3 feet is not life changing on the trailer.

just the poket book

I will have to put a tape to it but I thing I will be maxed out with a 29 or 302.. unless I chop down a tree or move my a/c unit. I have to use my neighbors driveway to get it out also!

I am looking at a 29 in OK with with 475 hours on meters. He is going to do a compression test and try to find a scan tool this weekend to see how well they have been maintained. He claims it doesnt burn any oil, Cockpit vinyl in bench seat back will have to be replaced and may as well do all of it so he is lowering price and it already has an alum trailer which a steel would have to be replaced down here w/in 2 years..

Other than that it has everything I want! 29-30k for a 99 w 454 mags with all options...

Opinions on those hours??
