congrats on the new boat and i also agree with ^ him i had my 26 out in 5 to 6's and it was slow and wet. there is a difference between can make it and handles anything, just sayin but it is a good boat and will be vary fun.

Thanks for the feedback and please keep it coming. Powerquest I love the red looks real nice anything you don't like that you would change? I was able to find the spec sheet on wellcraft but that was all. I don't have thru hull exhaust but want to do it anyone have suggestions? Also how do I post pictures?

Maybe they were 4 footers! Lol! I didn't have a tape measure out but out of all the boats I've been in this one handles the rough stuff the best....keep in mind that this hull is more of a wave crusher (compared to newer and faster hulls which ride more on top of the water). Its MUCH smoother than my 26 ft powerquest or my friends 28 foot nordic heat. Great boat for the money

Do you have the wishbones installed ? If so you need to buy 2 sets of diverters and some 4 " exhaust hose ... If not ... you gonna need a pair of wishbones ... they should be a dime a dozen ... most guys remove them and they sit collecting dust.
Have to pull the engines to install them because they connect @ the lower transom assy.
