Alright,
So if you if your'e thinking CC....Would you rather have an 8.5 beam for a better rough water ride or a 10ish beam for more room?

I like the 8 1/2 beam for towing issues.

Thats why I sold my lighting, With the boat I have now if you lose 1 motor you can still get on plane.

How about 9.6 I don't fish much at all,at 38 ft there's plenty of room.if i fished more the wider boat is more stable at idle or drifting.

8' 6" beam - plenty of room if the boat is long enough, and you can tow w/ no issues, hell even at 30' long, that is still a big cockpit.

OK Mike and others here is what I am hearing. Should I stick with the 105lbs blond who is high maintenance(Go fast) :D

Or should I get with her fat sister(CC) :p :drink: :eek:

Seriously though all of the points of being more reliable with the CC is a little tough to buy. Why not go with 496's or 525's in a go fast?

I guess everyone is different but for me its like do I want a Ferrari or a suv?Well I'll take the Ferrari with the hot blond every day of the week thank you very much! :drink: :evilb: :evilb:
