 Re: boat opinions wanted
Have the boat built. I seriously doubt gt's boats with the 25 will get optimum performance as some of these custom hulls have seen on here.

 Re: boat opinions wanted
Go custom. There are alot of good builders on this site. You will be more pleased with a boat the way you want it! Draw something up and send it to some builders and see what they say!

 Re: boat opinions wanted
Jay Dore builds instagator boats. Some of the fastest boats around, but I do believe lucers was a .100 hull, which saves quite a bit of weight and increases speed.

 Re: boat opinions wanted
Westi thats right, now thats a 16.5x46 shavin 30mph. A 1648 GT boat will hold 27 and bump low 28s. Let me ask this guidry, why not the 35?

 Re: boat opinions wanted
Here is the best suggestion I can give don't get. 25hp get a 35hp there is no replacement for displacement .. Oh and gt hulls perform great but that just me . "Custom" boats cost the same after it's all over

 Re: boat opinions wanted
