You might consider a 26 Carrera Cat. The boat is very solid and will run 100+ with 850hp. In typical afternoon chop it rides better than a 32 V and depending on power will outrun just about any V. The boats are a little heavier than the HTM's, but seem to be more solid. There is lots of storage under the deck, but no seating. My boat weighs 4,000# with 80 gallons of fuel.

My American Offshore 2600 has a nice area under the nose. No its not a cabin with a fridge and coffie maker but it gets the job done! Have had 4 people under there to get out of the rain and I have/do sleep on it!!

Mike, you took the words right out of my mouth. I know HTM rates the boat at 4,400 lbs., but I didn't know if that was wet or dry. Anyway, it's definately heavier than the carrera if jdnca1 is correct. I wish some more builders would incorporate a decent cabin into their cats.

SR-24;
Are you saying the fully loaded weight rating is 4450# INCLUDING passengers? My question is what does the hull weigh wet...no passenger, I've always been told around 3000#. That is why the 24 HTM is so fast. Please clarify. My Carrera is 4000# full of fuel...no passengers, and I would guess the full weight rating is 6,000#ish.

25' Daytona available
290PQ- my 25' daytona is in the classifeds, a very reliable set-up with respectable performance, now has 85 hrs. come down for a weekend and hang out, run it, I'll deliver it if you like. The cabin is not as big as an HTM's but is fully padded and can easily sleep 2 adults and 2 kids.
