It was a slight exaggeration, just like the LOA listing on the Fountain:)

LOA is usually measured on the hull alone.[2] For sailing ships this may exclude the bowsprit and other fittings added to the hull. This is how some racing boats and tall ships use the term LOA.[3] However, other sources may include bowsprits in LOA.[4][5][6] Confusingly, LOA has different meanings.[7][8] "Sparred length", "Total length including bowsprit", "Mooring length" and "LOA including bowsprit"

Reggie should have been more specific when marketing his boats. Sorry, I know it's been done a million times, but it's still fun:party-smiley-004:

I used to have one, so I'm allowed to poke fun!!!

year range? what kind of rough water we talkin? some guys consider wake chop rough on some lakes, where you running it??

If it is real deal rough water I will say APACHE/CIG/FLAT DECK SCARAB/OLD FORMULA/SUTPHEN

in Lake Erie we get washing machine rough water and also plain old crankin rough water, mix the two and you have boat breaking waves....

a ton depends on era of boat and the water your gonna run in before you ask the question..

See if you can find a 32 Active Thunder. They can be had in that price range, and they perform way beyond their length in the rough stuff.

If you want something good on fuel, pick a different hobby. :D

Turn key reliable absolutly needs nothing and will run through any water you throw at it. Ran AC poker run at 90mph in the ocaen like I was in a 42' boat. 65k takes it. I have that invested this year. Im moving into a cat, I just cant seem to go fast enough. LOL

I am a believer...sounds like it is running great, and at $65K that is a great deal for what you get.

33 Outlaw handle the rough great, especially for the money. I ran the entire 145mile Boyne Thunder Run at over 70mph with faster spurts, ran half of lake Charlevoix the day before, and ran the entire Lake the day after all on only 160 gallons.

I like my 33 Scarab AVS and is actually not bad on fuel compared to a friends 31 Scarab straight bottom.
