Not any harder to trailer or handle around the docks than a big 24. But it's going to be a twin. Another is the Magnum 27/28. You see 27's with single big blocks now and again. Wonderful rough-water performance and as in the case with the Cig, you'd really not be able to tell a difference around the docks or behind your truck. Fountain is another example- but more because they add the swim platform and an extended bow on them- so their 27 has the same bottom as many 24's- and often less.

Is that 28 in Northeast Ohio? Or somewhere thereabouts?

You better have a 3/4 ton truck or you ain't getting it done. You can't beat dreamers 28 for 25K. I might buy it just to have a spare....

And besides, the deck doesn't look like a Cig.
