All rough water beasts, there's some good pantera vids on YouTube in some nasty water.

Sorry guys, should have been more specific. I will be using the boat mainly in the LI sound and maybe some ocean use if I get the hang of it. I guess a 28' and smaller, stand up and with some cuddy space to have a place to stay if the beers are flowing haha. I know the budget is a huge limiting factor with boats but let's say 25k. Thanks for the info. Newbie here!!

I doubt you're going to get a 525SC engine and great hull for under $25k, unless you already have the engine. 28 Pantera, PowerPlay, AT, Lavey Craft, and Eliminator Eagle are all great boats but it will be tough to get one with that package for your budget.

You live in the land of Superboats, Kryptonite, Activator, Hustler. There's got to be some of those hulls fs up there to put your motor in.

You should have started a thread titled "post your boat".

Hey Nate. I like all these boats, But I hate waiting for nasty water to have fun. So I lean to the activator/kryptonite/warlock type boats. Insanely fast great in all water and modern hulls.
Oh wait isn't this how all these horrible arguments start on here:eekdrop:

Tc g, by 29 fountain do you really mean a 26-27'? LOL sorry bad joke....

My opinion is the boats below. Anything bigger is too much boat for a single.
