The nice thing about the Schiada, you can pretty much get what you put into it out in most cases. They hold their value better than anything I've seen. Pretty amazing really.

That's a great looking boat, but how much freeboard does that thing have? I can't believe they run them to Catalina and back (returning in one piece).

Happy to send pics to any interested.

Got a 30' Villain 454's (on the right) new Stainless Marine exhaust and will also provide pics as my wife is getting tired of carrying groceries from down the block

It's got a couple feet between the waterline and the top of the splash rail. I've never had water come over the transom with it and I've had it all over Parker and Havasu on holiday washing machine type weekends. It's a solid boat. You can't go wrong with a Schiada either.

As far as Catalina, they have run them back and forth for years pulling skiers at 90 mph. A 21' boat wouldn't be my first choice, but if it was the only choice I had it would be a Schiada or a Hallett Vector v-drive.
