My X Father-in-law took his 29 to the Bahamas following me in a 33 one year...did fine. It's all in picking your days, hell broke a 33 OL that same trip out there...that's a hell of a story to tell. :whistle:

Conroe prob not a good comparison. Lake pontchatrain has more chop with rollers.. 29 would be better than 25. 33 better then 29! Keeps going back to what's out there when I've sold mine.. brought up pics of a 33 to wife, she didnt flip a 39k boat I found (33) but the 29 in Ozarks is spotless and under 200 hrs and closer to 33k.. so close but 33 is saltwater though had new manifolds 320 hrs and a rebuilt motor b/c of a bad cylinder. :daz:

Oh and we could swap some stories too.. have another buddy who had a 30ol that had a good view of the back of Josh's boat on a cpl trips! Josh didn't even know was going on.. supposedly! Lets say a lil party on the sunpad! Rated NC 17!! ;)

We'll swap some stories sometime, if you still talk to Josh he knows a few of mine, we'll get together sometime, should be fun. Seen a guy hook a Top Gun on Conroe....rollers is 180 of Conroe but I hear ya. Boated where you are in my prior life a few times...29 is fine and of course a 33 would be better...and a 36...38...40...42...46...50 etc ;-). Good luck to ya man and holler if ya need any help my way.
