The build quality and rigging is very good. The PQ260SX is great rough handling boat, very roomy cabin and great handling. The boat does everything very well. Boat is NOT a speed demon, looking at 60-63mph max. The boats will be in your price range. Go the PQ boat owners forum, lots of information. Good Luck.
Are the other boats just more efficient hull designs?? What makes the PQ top out there when the other boats don't? I assume that a faster over all boat has a faster cruising speed too??
If im wrong please correct me, I want something sleek and nasty on the water but efficient at cruising too! Of coarse with the cabin space too.
I know im needy!

Yes I the ones I PMed you, you could get those for a steal, SR1s are great boats, especially for the money, if I had the money to own one I would have one, but they can burn the fuel well....they are heavy so that makes them riide better... say there are 2-3 foot waves okay haul @ss, but if you are in some 5's throttlee back toaround say 23-25 knots, you will pound some but, its better for your boat that way..but thats my opinion

Single engine would be cool for the fuel factor but since I am looking in the 30s now or even upper 20s. Most boats are twins that I find. The singles I find don't seem to be too fast (adds say 55 on gps and such).
Can you send the pm again? I was trying to make more room in pm box and deleted that one on accident. Being a newbie I only have space for 10 pms. Send and received. That sucks.

How often do you boat inland vs erie? Gonna be tough to find a boat that will do well inland plus handle Erie on the rough days. If you only boat Erie when its fairly nice plus a bunch of inland boating my 25' Powerplay would be a great choice. Done great on Lake St. Clair for me thus far.
On rough days you will want a 28+ for sure. Bit large for most inland lakes tho I would imagine.
Boat is fairly local here in Detroit.

This is for Lake Erie, also watch the sky, and if you go out in 2 footers, don't expect 6s anytime soon, if you go out in 4's well then it doesn't take long to get 6's

I always watch the NOAA site. Way better then any POS weather/news channel!! I know lake Erie pretty well so what I mean by off guard is more... going to sandusky for weekend and having a storm build in canada and come crap all over me and having to deal with that. Gotta go home at some point. Can't stay forever lol.
