I'm looking for a new(er) 26' - 29' boat to handle big water...suggestions ???

pantera

Where Do you do your boating?

yeah, Pantera, warlock, sonic if speed isnt an issue

How new?

My research said Pantera, Active Thunder, Powerplay. (You can see what I chose, but they're hard to come by.)

Warlock in big water. We run 80+ in 2ft seas. It has a pad so nice soft landing. Of course I am biased but I have owned lots others and hold onto this boat. Only negative is the build quality is so so. We updated a lot of things. This is kind of standard in this size boat. New equals would be the vendetta. But the are like 200k.

Laveycraft 29 NuEra - exceptional build quality and fast hull

what if speed is an issue what to buy in this size if it is all about speed?

Get a Fountain

how does velocity compare to fountain ?
