I like the 24's, but am afraid I would stuff one on the lake. There was a 30 spectre that stuffed on Texoma a couple of weeks ago. A cruiser wake was the culprit. I imagine grand lake has the same type of water.
There is a member on here with a 33 ocean express for $60K.

Where is Apache21? He ran a 24 skater on grand...and pretty well as I remember.
AO just splashed the Chris Cat hull and made their 31' originally. They may have made some small changes over the years, but basic lenght and tunnel design hasnt changed, as far as i know.

Thank you for the input!! I think you are correct about a 24 - it doesn't look like it has the freeboard to get up over the chop like the 28 does. I've looked at a few American Offshores (there are still quite a few in the area) and it seems like they do not have the freeboard of the 28 either. One boat that does interest me is a cat that sits at TeraMiranda. It is very rarely used and I think the owner may be interested in selling. It appears to be a 30 Chris Cat or similar with #3 speedmasters. It has a stepped hull - should be fast. What do you think?
I'm going to keep my eyes open and throw some money to the side for when something comes along. I'll definitely be looking for some driving tips as I know you guys have more time in a cat than anyone else around!!!

Ron took me for a ride in the Cougar YEARS ago when he kept it at Port Carlos. I didn't realize he was still around! That was/is a pretty radical SOB. Originally Posted by johnnywhip

CJ, We are loving the 419!!! I think we've burned through about 800 gallons of fuel and have had a great time! Lots of time behind the sticks and it's great. I ran the lake the other day and didn't even have to slow down for the mothership! It's a real wave crusher!!!!! We're working on a genset and getting the AC running. I don't think it's ever been fired up...
