Not a good offshore hull though. Great for a lake that's flat but anything over 2 foot waves and you will get beat to death.

Is that the only 24 model fountain made? What's that a 20 degree V? Looks pretty flat. Damn good looking boat

No, there are a few but you dont see them often. there is one here outside atlanta that was crashed hard years ago. if I recall correctly the driver was killed in it. as was said they get out of shape pretty quickly if it gets the slightest bit bumpy out.

I saw that boat that crashed a few years ago sitting in a yard in Gainesville. Looked bad. I think the 24 would be a fun hot rod in light conditions. Nothing offshore.
Would put hydraulic steering on it though. I think it is 19 or 20 degrees on the hull. Very cool looking design.

Pretty much. I enjoy mine but I also sit on the docks if the waves start to white cap. lol

Mine came with full hydraulic, and I'm not sure how I survived without it!

<--- Also really enjoy that sunpad......

I also had one with 502 HP and it ran 81. As stated not for bigger water and was tough to back up. Always started one way and turning the wheel opposite it would keep going the way it started. Sold it and bought a 29 with twin 502s.
