I swear by old heave boats for Lake Erie, but if I was to get a newer boat, would be a TS Cig, or 41 Saber..... they are the best riding newer boats I been on in LE, Clifford was all business many great rides on it, didn't need steps on it.... ran good no matter what... and when it got big it was all business....

I'm going back to basics, screw it! Building a 27 Sport Magnum with LSX's and Arnesons then to replace the Donzi i am going with an old school 38 Excel Scarab with NO crap in the cabin . . . no micro . . no fridge . . . no sink . . . no air . . . just a cooler and some carpet and a lot of extra tabbing and bulkheads (Jim Dietz WickedOne style 
) This water just breaks schit apart and the long and short of it is most of that stuff is useless. Not sure what out there now fill the bill,

Central IL. Boat mostly on inland lakes and waterways, but also frequent the Florida west coast where my folks live. I'd like to able to go out on lake MI and the gulf in the winter in a sport boat eventually.

actually I like the deck and trim plus the hull was still from the same mold as the flat deck. The vents and windscreen went through some changes around 1990, I would like to find an 88 or 89 trs boat
