Chevy - eeeeewwwwww............. hehe I wonder what the Ford of boast would be. :) Boats - not boast...sheesh...

Seems a little optimistic, doesn't it? Nice looking boat. Where are you planning to use it? That flat bottom might be limiting. I don't know -that's why I asked. I've heard that the bigger, wider boats are handle fairly well in heavy slop, but this is one boat I honestly don't have a lot of experience with. As to space and capacity - that's a maximum and I expect it to be a little unrealistic. I've seen similar boats eight aboard fishing The Race though - and that can get a little snarky at times. |

They are great fishing boats. It helps to have someone with CS experience help you lay one out, because there are a number of interior options. |

You've proven yourself to have NO credibility. |

Here's an example of why I said I consider them the Chevy of boats. http://www.carolinaskiffowner.com/showthread.php?t=5563 Check the pics of what this fishing Capt'n did with a new 2480 DLX hull. The pics begin on page 2. Tabula rasa of boats. What he did isn't my cuppa, but it kinda reminds me of what my kid did with his '93 Corsica. Cheap to buy, and he made it into something else. You'd hardly know it was a Corsica. That reminds me - I just noticed my Lumina has a Monte Carlo trunk lid and panel. Looks like a Monte from the back. I better have a talk with him. --Vic |

They make a DLV model with a different hull shape than the DLX Tom posted. Supposed to pound less. Ha! Who'd a thunk it. I've never really considered one cuz I thought they were all flat. It's only a 10 degree deadrise but that's better'n nothing. And it's a nice lookin' boat too. You can see a glimpse of the bottom on the left side of the page by clicking on a model number. http://www.carolinaskiff.com/skiff/dlv.asp Rick |
