Congrats!
It's really coming along, and its going to be killer.
Stopped by the shop on my way out to Vegas today and saw work being done.
I understand its going to be a "next gen" 24 with a fiberglass floor mod.
What are you putting in it for power?

Thanks Dave! Picked up a lot of cues from your boat, not a blue guy but seeing the electric blue on yours made the color decision easy! Yes, boating up here in Buffalo I really needed a molded liner and Chris jumped in and said lets do it, same tub as yours. Going with the 8.2 HO. Had my heart set on a west coast boat, have been looking for a while and always circled back to LaveyCraft. Will really stand out here with all the Formula's, Baja's and Fountain's!

Makes sense that it's the 2750 tub - the 2750 upper mold is out and being used to provide the template for your rig. I think its great that somebody drove the improvement to the 24 model.
In a sea/lake of "sticker" boats a LaveyCraft is certainly going to stand out.
You'll hold twice the fuel 27 fountain does and probably be nearly as long when you take the beak out.
I never understood a 50 gallon tank in a 27 foot boat, you'd be filing up everywhere with a pump.
Congrats again!

Anyway you can move up to the 520 non cat engine ? The 8.2 black engine is based really well but darn they sure can have their problems with all the emission stuff on them now. Giving out a bit of info that might pay off in the long run and not trying to scare you. Also keep in mind you will have to find a shop that is extremely well trained on the current emission engines. Not that many around that are top rated for the job especially for the 8.2. Just saying.

Here a pict of a trip from a few years ago at Lake Mead.
This is Adam 2-4's 24 - next to Kevin Briggs 2750 then my 2750- then a ski supreme 22.
I hope to be able to see this new 24 on the water - and boat with you Ken.
