Only to be beat by SeaCraft with two boats on the list?!?!?! Gimme a break.....

....and Ive put close to 500hrs on that 25' Regulator, you need more "patience" than a doctor with that thing

Glad to see the Yellowfin on there but the 36 deserves a much higher spot

The FORMULA 233 only made #29? WTH, that is probably the most copied hull of all time. Yet the 23 SEACRAFT makes #21? And to top it off the 25 MAKO makes #5 on the list, and the 20 SEACRAFT makes #2? Holy crap who came up with this list. Alot of this list looked to be hulls that only seen a very limited production run as well.

i'm surprised true world marine (when the moonies made them)was not mentioned. one of the first single large hp outboard run deep and come back with the fish.

Yes, what an AWESOME hull design. A 28 footer that could go good with a single 250, handle rough water, and was just a hardcore fishing vessel for the rough stuff. Then again they are not well known by most.

I just googled True World Marine. I love the layout. Dont think I could ever afford one. A 2013 28' with twin 250s was $170k.

I might be able to afford a V20. The other 49, probably not.

The original True World used by the Moonies Tuna fleet was the Master Marine 28.
