Not sure why your link didn't work properly, I'll try.....

I don't know Chaparral well but that boat appears to be anti fouled. (Bottom paint) Antifoul will take away a few mph in top end speed and also effect resale value on a high performance boat. Avoid keeping a sterndrive boat in the water if at all possible, corrosion issues can be awful. Unless you're going to keep your boat in the water, I'd encourage you to look for something that's never been antifouled. It can be removed but depending on how it was prepared and applied, it's a very big job.

Thanks for the input. Thats the stock black hull. You or anyone have experiance with the 26cat from shockwave?

thanks

Make sure you check insurance costs before you purchase a cat.

Ok then, you can pretty much disregard my post. :)
I wasn't sure looking at the pics, the way the black hull seems to run through the bottom of the first "S".

Hi All,
New to the forum, and joined because I am selling my four winns h210 in search of a bigger faster bowrider with room to roam. I spend most of my time on sebago lake in maine which in my opinion is far to rough for my fourwinns. After searching endlessly for a bowrider from the normal crew (fourwinns, cobalt, searay etc..) that will hit 60mph and have some room to roam for the family. With a budget of 85k I am hoping you guys might have some input. I really liked a listing of a 28' magic i found but then found out they were no longer in business. Anyways just open to some ideas. I will list some input to my prefrences below.
2010 or newer,
24-28'
simple colors (dont care for all the bright colors)
swim platform
60+ mph
capt call
bowrider

thanks

I’d still look at 41 apaches. For 85 you can probably find one with small power. You’ll pull more skanks with a 41 Apache than any other boat just add a 30’ bow rider seating area for the skanks to tan in and don’t forget the stripper pole. Just my .02

thats what I’m taking about. Just swap the pulleys to make some blower surge and you’re golden
