i live onj lake erie, so it is like a mini ocean, you can't see land from 3 sides, from my pier, it is the shallowest of the last so it gets rough the quickest and we get westerly windes from ohio and canada alot prevailing westerly so i like my 1997 24ft 24 degree dead rise, it rides perfect in a 2 to 3 ft chopp at 75 mph , flat water my bvoat tidder totters , but lake erie is never flat, and then i use trim tabe son flat days to help the titor tooter motion side to side

Yeah I believe the coast of some of these boats are insane, I actually started a thread on why are they so much! You should read it, very interesting !

my opinion is, i worked at wellcraft and in the stock room for a while they had a triple percent mark up, i priced everything out buy parts, the reason is the owners are so greedy, becasue they didn't pay me **** at well craft, down in florida,

Rick, before we bought our 25', we looked at a 29' outlaw and would you believe the bed was shorter than the one in our 25'. My feet hung over the end of the bed. That was the main reason we got the 25' instead. That and it was way nicer too,also twice the price of the 29'.
BTW I got my swivel pin fixed and installed all new bushings as well. Just waiting on the motor now.

They are really busy this time of the year,they did say that its next in line and to give em a call at the end of this week. Ya, that upper pin wasnt to bad to do. I repainted the bellhousing and gimbal ring and then thought what the phu#k, I might as well paint the bilge while i'm waiting. Bought some Bilgekote and went after it. I'm about half way done, work keeps interfering with my boat hobby.
