Keep in mind folks, not everyone wants or needs a larger boat, or twins. The 26 is a fine boat if that is what he wants I say go for it.

True, just all depends on how and where you boat. I'm not knocking the 25/26 at all, they're great boats. But I've seen guys go out before and spend big $ on new boats without realizing that a lot of times you could buy a clean 1 or 2 year old used bigger boat for the same money. As long as the guy writing the check is happy then its all good.
