Hull Reccommendations
 

hello everyone i'm new around here looking for some help on a future boat purchase.

when i was a kid a local builder in the VI took a 23 monza hull mold and started putting sport decks on them. he make a few that were also 25. they were powered by 200 outboards and did around 50-55. ive always wanted one or something of that style.

i dont have a picture but it resembles the superboat 24.

on that note, as of right now i am looking at a few different used boats, but havent really ridden on many of them.

-24 superboat
-26 powerplay sport deck
-monza z-280 (not a sport deck, CC, but i have ridden one)

i dont do much if any offshore fishing, pretty much just island hopping. sport decks are wanted, but i can settle for a CC.

looking for something 55+ mph range, can handle medium chop, 25-30sih feet, outboard engine, and simple, i pretty much need a hull with a motor lol.

any recommendations and comparisons are greatly appreciated. as of now <50k please

thanks!

welcome to the site. Its tough to go wrong with any of those. The Superboat and Powerplay i am familiar with and they are both great boats. You may also want to look at one of Charlie Mccarthys Bannana Boats.

thanks, very interesting, are they in south florida? maybe i could meet up and see one of the used inventory, and possibly take a demo ride after i get back from work in a month

There is a 25 Powerplay in the classifieds here on OSO.

i am still up in the air with what i want to purchase, just researching right now, would prefer a single outboard for fuel reasons.
trying to make an educated decision

Check out my Sutphen. The 26 is an amazing rough water boat for its size and fast! If your looking for a great boat to get a feel of running a performance boat this could be you!
