You're right...a 25 won't be so good in my waters.

Hey Indy-
I'm not sure what you're budget is but there are a lot of good options out there.
I'm up in your area, Rye NY, frequently, and from what I've seen a Fountain 31 would be a good option as well as a Scarab 302. Both good performers that can do double duty as fishing/family boats.
My .02

No budget right now...but when that happens I'll be prepared LOL!! I'd like to stay under 30 so I can have it rack stored in Norwalk. Did the trailer thing with my 33 PP and I'm done with that...back to the rack! I've looked at some of the conventional CCs but those are slow and few have 24 degree bottoms.

Waddya having built?

27 w/250EFI = 61
27 w/300XS = 65

Twins could be put on it but can't think of a single reason why that would be a good idea. Safety? One could get a sat phone and ERIB much cheaper. Speed? Never overcome the weight difference. Money? Double the cost of power, rigging, etc for twins over a single (duh... LOL!). Look cool? Look cooler with the extra $$ in your pocket.

I'm going with Yellowfin for the next boat.

Awesome boats, 2 different target customers.

Very much so. I plan on hanging on to this one for a while so quality and service is very important.
