We have a 23 Regulator with a single. It is plenty of boat for us. Just don't get a Yamaha Saltwater Series on it, we are finding out they have some issues.

checkmate has a new 25' center console. i believe it's called the 250 SFX. i haven't seen one in person yet, and there's very little info available on them, but they have me intrigued. It looks like an ideal package for someone looking for a single engine center console that isn't really a fisherman.

Very cool layout. Wonder if it is self bailing?

A. You won't find a lot of single engine 30's
B. Are you looking for performance or just a cruising boat (with lots of seating).
C. What are "salt issues?" Salt can be tough on sterndrive applications but on outboards not so much......

Right here. My old boat:

I simply can't understand why this boat has not sold yet. I am happy to answer any questions on it, and a call to the current owner will reveal an extremely experienced high performance boater. It is a true 28 feet, not like 25 foot Concept that uses the bracket to call itself a 27. It is heavy, old school and custom. If you want a Cadillac ride in any water (I remember walking away from 31 foot Formula's in 3-5's) with a center console layout, this is worth a look in my opinion.

Y2K CC!

Those are some great cc's. Looking for a boat that is able to handle a little rough water on the lake, no fishing, just for cruising short distances when I don't want to take the Fountain out. Would like a boat that hasn't been in salt.

I still stand by my original post. The Renegade 27 or 29 in a single and the Renegade 32 in a twin. It is one of the top choices of South Florida smugglers, in this day and age. It is stable, lightweight, fast, and relatively inexpensive. $50K will get you into a few year old 32 with twins and an engine warranty. I'll check on used prices of the 23,27, and 29. It would be a very stable boat for the Lake of the Ozarks.

look at Sea Hunt

I have one with a Yamaha

it's a great pennies to op-erate boat...

can't say enough good about it

Call Jay at Spectre - he has a new 26 - you may like it!
