Oh wow, this is going to get good.


OK great......did the OP not say the fastest sit down Vee?

If so then both these boats apply as both hold a record but for different things.

Yes he stated "one" record holding......god forbid we don't let a type slide. What are we 5?

Look at some earlier model 42 gtx's. The Just trucking gtx's was a great ride. Mike actually built that boat for himself and I was lucky enough to get a ride in it when he owned it. Very manageable on a trailer and around docks.

Actually the OP never mentioned speed:


LOOKING FOR BIG SIT DOWN VEE INPUT
Starting from the Gladiator up, what would be top boat to run offshore new jersey and inner coastal. Is there a such thing as too big??
My 370 is on the large side running around south jersey chanel but very comfortable. Is 42' getting little long?

The ocean is less than perfect and having a 42' + boat has me thinking smoother rides more often.

One other factor, trailering to destination areas. The main dockage will be lagoonfront on a lift but considering a couple destination trips a year. How difficult trailering a 42'+ compared to 38'?

Appreciate you experiance and opinions

Big sit down Vee?

I have been in a just a couple of fast offshore boats over the years......and based on my own experience out there where the big sea monsters live......I would have to say that if I were to purchase a boat for my own pleasure boating today, I would only consider one............

If sheer top speed isn't a priority I'll second the member who replied Black Thunder.

See ya,
