We are throwing around the idea of upgrading the 25' eagle to a 28 or 30 with twins. Looking to have a better ride mostly in the washing machine weekend water and on windier days where we currently get a little beat up with the 25'.
Currently I can ski and tube behind my boat relatively easily, half throttle get's me out of the water. I can also stay on plane about 2,400 rpm's and 22-24 mph; no tabs.
Anyone have any experience going to the bigger hull and the ability to still do these things? How much of a pain in the butt is it? Seems to me anytime you go bigger, there is always an increase in the pita factor. Our next boat we want a dedicated head, don't know if the 28 would have that.
Just trying to do some research, thanks for any information guys.

How would one of these 30 eagles handel pulling someone out of the hole with a single. Eliminator's website shows a 30 with a single whippled 525 and i'm curious what something like that would do. I may be interested in upgrading to something like that in the future, or going with twin stock 500's for 525's.
