Two main reasons I have an old flat bottom, PRICE being the T/S prohibiting factor, but a full CABIN was really important to me too.... No full cabin in the T/S, unless it;s a custom....

Cabin in a straight bottom is nice, if that is important to you I'd at least take the time to look at a few. PBC has some nice clean straight bottom TG's listed for sale.

Don't forget, Bravo straight bottoms porpoise without tab. Twin steps are the way to go if they are in your budget.

If a Useable Cabin is what you are looking for- Good luck- My T/S has all the chit on the floor all the time.






I cant understand why

Probably not many

With a t/s you need to know what your doing.

If you don't, watch out !

It's not the boat, it's the driver

Remember TS are also running higher speeds. Both are great, I had a 93 Café that was awesome in the rough and I never found myself saying I need a bigger boat because of ride quality. With that being said TS handle the rough just as well, just in a different way. No high speed turns in a TS.

I think the trs boats actually do it a bit more. Just my opinion

I like to drive @WOT and then just for $hits and giggles turn the wheel as much and as fast as possible to the right. Drives as high as they will go.
I think a stepped bottom boat is the right choice for me.

Love my straight bottom. Wanted a full cabin and a wave crusher. Its a 2000 so the cockpit looks like a TS. Mine runs 74mph with 5000efi's and that is good enough for me. Most importantly I never have to worry about spinning/rolling since my 7 yr old is with us most of the time. Not worth it to me at all.
