I kinda like the looks of the canopy boats and was wondering out of curiousity if anyone owns one for PR or recreational use. I can see a lot of disadvantages of having one just for fun, but the cool factor is pretty high!

Post pics!

Just Dan's.......

does he use it strictly for poker runs or does he enjoy it on the weekends also?

pretty badass!

I drive a canopy race boat not practical for pleasure also visual not the greatest!

actually both....that picture is from us just out for the day

Ive been looking at one for the past 2 months...Outerlimits SV43 with 700's...should see 115-118 out of it. Going to wait it out until Christmas before I decide. I'm also very interested in Donzi competitions.

They are not as good for seeing but everything else about the boat just grabs me...especially the fact it's only 9,000lbs.

Cool factor is definitely high & I too considered one but how could you ever take it anywhere by yourself? Tough to dock it & or back into a slip I'd imagine.

ya thatd be a big disadvantage, but i never boat alone anyways.. both times i did last year and i ended up needing a hand with something and getting into a bind.. plus, how could you NOT find someone to go for a ride with you in a raceboat? lol

I would buy a Canopy boat in a heartbeat...up here it gets pretty cold and it would be nice to have but it is totally impractical.

My raceboat is impractical too but I dont care. Cool factor is more important than practicality for me, if I want to be practical I wouldnt buy an offshore boat in the first place.
