If you can find one the 80's 24 Sonic. Huge cabin for a 24. Not saying its the best, but fun to drive. Most all are outboards

I do also like the active thunders, been noticing more of them lately, they look like a pretty good rough water boat.
Progression still my favorite (of course I am biased...duh) I looked at their site, don't know how the "variable deadrise bottom" concept works in reality but the idea seems sound. Vacuum bagging is the way to go (or resin infusion which is REALLY expensive) Paint/gel is right out of the 70's Uncle Dave Laveycraft 2750 Ilmor-710 Laveycraft 20.8 Sebring 406 SB Fleetwood nitrous toy hauler Yamaha raptor 700/Kawi KFX 450 Nissan Titan |

Got give them credit for actually designing their own boat- a lot of the "makers" just splash someone elses saves lots of money.

My boat is mostly white with a black outline and grey accents so its not all fancy like the newer boats but not totally dated either. I don't know much about the variable deadrise in how it actually compares to performance of other boats, but I can say it seems to land pretty soft and handle a fair amount of water for its size. |

I have to 2nd that on the A.T. Great all round boat, getting tougher to find though.

Just little biased here, but the 25 Magum Sport has the "V", the beam (8 ft) and the weight to put it with the front of the pack when it gets rough. It also performs exceptionally well with a decent sized single.:cool:

Love someone's comment on the 24' bat boat. Hands-down THE winner of this best rough water 24' and under....just ask anyone on the Boyne Thunder poker run last year!!! We were consistently passing boats in that rough Lake Michigan water - especially a certain red 38' Donzi ZX...:evilb:
|
I'm sure there are a ton of great 25' and under boats out there but I only have first hand experience with my Pantera. I rarely get into bigger water but when I do it really shines for a small boat.
When I was shopping I had Superboat, Active Thunder and Pantera on my short list. I agree with the Bat Boat. I've seen some of those run great in big water. |
simple! the TD sting ray!:evilb:
sorry...i had to! |
