I'm getting a feeling...
that you're the guy I spoke to about doing the bimini?

Both are awesome boats. Other factors should be considered. 90 is safer in 28' than 25'. Garages usually accommodate 25 easier than 28, towing 25 is easier than 28 & they are both layed out similar & comparable in roominess except headroom in the cabin that no one rides in anyway. The Heat packs more sh** & more fuel. A + for camping trips @ Powell & the likes. The Heat adds a few $. I ended up with a Rage, but would be just as happy with a Heat.

It all comes down to your style of boating. If you don't boat in rough water, you don't need a bigger boat. I've owned both. They are an apples to oranges comparison. The Rage is great for recreation, tubing, skiing, etc. The Heat is not. It is not nimble enough and does not plane well at slower speeds. The Heat rides much better and handles like it's on rails. As far as speed there is 8-10 mph difference between the 2 with 496 power. Low 70's for the Rage, low 60's for the heat(tested at my home lake).

Yep, Full Throttle Marine

05 Rage
My recently purchased 05 Rage has a 540 with an M-3 and was built in Spicewood. ( Full Throttle Marine??) I wonder if I bought your old boat? I came real close to triple digits at Lake Powell last month but had some minor technical difficulties such as a screaming wife :( It is a little slow out the hole at altitude, and a little wiggly with single ram, but other than that it is awesome. Instigator was the name on the boat.

Yes, that is the Rage I built the engine for. I own Full Throttle Marine.
