yes we have them here doggie wash i thought the idea came from you guys ---well with the boat i could never spend that much on a boat its a alloy one it has no seats in it use to be a dive boat and he said hes not happy with the speed at wot 35mph i told him its a big fishing boat what do you expect and that hard top woul be catching alot of wind well i havent been in it but he said he needs to put wipers on it lol well must be a wet boat its not a proven hull its made by some guys in NT so that explains it have to see one day when im out with mine what its like against the v20----the bow looks too narrow and too high ????????

Pretty colors, and that engine looks awesome... What HP is it? No seats would be a downer in my book ...and I'm sure that windscreen cuts down on his top end....I'm thinking that no tabs and an alum hull = a pounding ride... I would have thought she would have gotten a better top end though. ...still, it is pretty. (Although 33K is a bit rich for my blood) I wish him luck with it.

My Dad has a 25' Aluminum with a 225Hp it Pounds sounds like she's getting hit with 100 rubber hammers. It rides more like a sleigh in snow on top of the water not cutting through it. WTF!! am I talking about most of you don't get that S#!t. It looks like a Harborcraft Orca 26' with the big front end she should be a good tub. A bit under powered for my liking what dose it weigh and how long? I would be a very happy man to look outside and see that in my yard sweet looking boat.

Ya, for 33-34k I would want seats.

And yes, we have a dog wash at a near by car wash. I washed my dog there a couple of times, pretty convenient.

hi almost everyone here drives there boat on the trailer i never did for the fact i was to scared that i will damage the boat--but having a bigger boat changes things cause im guessing it will be harder to get on and winch it up even more when its windy i get nervous when i think on how im going to handle getting it on and off so thats why im looking at a sort of drive on trailer

I put a piece of allthread on top of my hand winch and covered it with a piece of small diameter water hose so when I drive the boat on the trailer I can judge if I have the bow in line with the winch. Make it tall enough so it is above the bow so you can always see it, and I put side bumpers on the trailer by the axels to hold the stern in wind and help center the stern on the trailer.
