We boat on a small lake on Louisiana named Cypress Lake. Max depth is only about 25 ft. No waves. Just looking for a cool single engine boat. Might take it to Texoma or Degray a couple times a year.

The 25, 26, 272 and 275 are deep wee hulls with 24 degree dead rise, where as the 23, 242 and 247 are with a lesser 23 degree dead rise. If you boat anywhere that can get bumpy, you will like the added dead rise.
The 242 Islander is 24* deadrise. It also wieghs in at 4400lbs dry which is the same dry wieght as the 275. For only a 24ft boat, the 242 Islander will handle the rough quite well and I speak from experience.

I have the only 2011 26OL with a Crockett 560HP engine, IMCO E-Box, and 2" Shorty if you are looking for a "cool single". Located in the St. Louis area.

You're right, brainfart on my part. I will still say that the added length of the 272 and 275 is nice. But as Daddy states, they don't boat in anything really rough, so it's not much of a deal.

+1 on this cause I went to see the boat for him when he was interested in buying it. If it wasn't for the wife holding me back I would have bought it myself. It is a nice looking boat!
