If you boat on Lake Erie or Lake Ontario go with the 27' The 24 was made for water skiing and from what I have seen not all that they are cracked up to be.

I have a 27 and I think it would get pretty small in a hurry on Lake Erie. It's a great lake boat but not a Great Lakes boat. IMHO Any 24 is probably too small.

The 24 cs is a sit down boat and is really more like a 21-22 ft. The 27 has drop down bolsters and is more like a 24-25 foot boat. That being said I would look for a 27 or 29 single.

Okay...I'll bite. I've already seen a previous thead about the 27' being more like a 25' in reality, but you didn't bother to explain from what aspect you feel the 27' is more like a 25' boat. Care to explain?

The 24 has a very shallow V as well. The 27 will have a much better time with any chop.

If you subtract 2' for the swim platform and -1' or so for the beak and it is a 24-25' boat. I say this because a friend has a older 24 outlaw and it is just as big as my 27 fever side by side.

if you want smaller lakes and into water sports the CS, if you want bigger water and speed than the 27. I would think the CS would be a harder market to find if you were the one trying to get rid of it
