Just took delivery on a 2000 24' Twin O/B
Some of you may recognize this boat, it was in N.J. Thanks to Jo and Pepe for answering my questions while shopping. Here's the original thread from Jo:

I water tested the boat before I bought it. I've been in larger, faster boats but for a 24' this thing is a blast to drive. I imagine the grab bars for the 5 passengers have been well used.
The cabin is empty, lightly upholstered for the first few feet (up to the second bulwark), with a padded mat on the floor. The bolsters are 3-by-3: stand-up in front, sit-down in back. I'll probably leave the bolster setup alone this year and see how I like it. Jo said he could build two seats or bolsters to replace the 3-across setup in the front.
I'm near Detroit, I should get out next weekend for the first cruise on the river and Lake Erie.
I'll take some more pictures when I get a chance (it's raining now). I just can't wait to get her in the water.

Thanks everyone.
I was watching your boat when it was still in CA. I like the all-white with green eyes and the bigger back seat. But I also like the sport model and the sun pad with the I/O hatch. It's a toss-up either way. I'd say your setup is definately more family friendly. This weekend can't come fast enough, especially after reading your post of running in slight chop last week! I'm still living vicariously for another few days. . .
