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

Took the words right out of my mouth, all amazing rough water boats that are a nice total package.

Thanks for the info. Newbie here!!
After reading this maybe a 24' VIP Vindicator would be a good starter. Nice intro boat and can be had in that price range all day.

Not this exact on but for an idea.

Actually do have the motor already, Was going to put in my 226 baja but am now thinking on a bigger scale... Just trying to get some info on what to look for... Want to spend the money wisely ya know..

Thanks guys

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.

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

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

28 a/t, 28 pantera, 28 Apache, 28 powerplay

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