Keeping that "Old School" look, but we also have bolster front seats and bolster type rear seats, that are options.

Deck can have a rail down the middle, like the 28SS or just one hatch or just plain.

Do you guys have a web site or any other info? I am interested in a boat in the 22-24' range, and I really like the classic styling. Im from Chicago, so I definately wont be making the show...

Edit: I found the site, but would love any extra info you have on the 24, especially cabin shots. Very curious to see how much room there is.

If you look on this thread post # 3 the first side photo....if you click on that photo and then double click on it when it opens, that will give you a nice big shot of the boat.

The cabin area goes from the spring cleats, just aft of the front of the windshield to the front cleats up on the deck.....over 9 feet long. We have divided some cabins into two distinct areas, but not in this boat.

The first area is a seating area that is big enough for an average adult to sit upright just inside the cabin door. It then has less headroom as it goes forward.

Further forward is a Porta Potti and a V berth that goes up to the first bulkhead. On the other side of that bulkhead is storage that goes all the way to the bow of the boat. Under the seating and bunk area is more storage.

Keep in mind that this boat has an 8 foot beam...the same as a Top Gun, so the area we have to work with is bigger than some other 24 footers, that have only a 7 foot beam.

Each boat is custom made.....we make the cabin to the layout that you want. Our site is: www.bananaboatco.com

Thanks for your interest....if you have any more questions, please feel free to contact us.

Charlie

Looks as if we are going to skip the Jacksonville boat show in favor of bringing two boats to the Fort Lauderdale boat show at the end of October.

OSO members please stop by and introduce yourselves.
