Longer tabs can take care of the chine walking

I have seen a couple of Pythons doing 100+ with no chine walk. The boat just has to be rigged for such speeds. Pythons are a narrow beamed boat which makes it very sensitive to weight distributions. Most 24 footers come with Bennett tabs which need to be replaced with 280 K-planes for 75+ speeds. All in all for the money Pythons can't be beat. If I were back in the 24 footer range, that's exactly what I would buy. One of the best looking boats I ever owned was a solid red Python with white interior. Man I miss that boat.

The 24 python is a nice lake boat. I've spent many a day on one that had a 454 with a B&M 250 on it that ran a touch over 80 on the perfect day. Let me tell ya 80 is rolling in a Python.

I know of 1 with a big blower motor that used to be on Lake Hartwell that GPS'd 92 . I don't want to be on it at 92 in much water.

There are a lot of people who started this addiction with a Python

The thought has crossed my mind, but I dont even wanna get in talks with anyone, 'til the money is in my account. I really need to sell my boat to be able to do this, I took extra $$ out of the refi to do the roof, and A/C, which I will do over the winter, I guess I could borrow, and put back when mine sells, but I really dont have room for 2 boats.

this 1 was junk. he went and looked at it yesterday. rode real hard and put up soaking wet. he didn't even bother taking pics.looking from the pic i originally posted ,it looked decent. told me to much stuff broke on her, he doesn't know much at all and picked up on where the bottom was butchered. drive was alka saltzered. rips ,tears ,etc in the cockpit.stuff missing oilly bilge. thanks to all who responded. he is going to sit back and take his time. i couldn 't stress enough , don't let emotions buy a boat.

thanks again for the info oso brothern... eric

Open,

I still have the buddy with the Vector for sale. It has a new cockpit, bravo drive, 454 EFI, fresh paint on the trailer with custom wheels, etc. It's in Florida if your buddy is interested I will pass along his number to you.
