Nice boat. I have always wondered about these hulls can you elaborate on the hull? I have only seen one or two other ones. Is this hull similar to the advantage x-flight? You know half v bottom half cat?

An Advantage X-flight is a V bottom hull. This boat is a true tunnel hull and sits on a normal cat trailer. The boat packs air, and is quick. 87mph for a 29ft boat, there are many 26 ft cats that don't do that with a stock 525. Crank the wheel and the boat will lean and carve.

Bad ass! Everything done perfectly. The seat bases are unreal! And the stereo is exactly like I would have done it.

Its basically a big mod-vp hull, best of both worlds so to speak. Air it out or trim it in and crank it in to a turn. Very cool boat, 87 with a single 525 is very cool.

This boat is beautiful up close, the pics dont even do it justice! Gotta ask, why are you selling it Iman? There arent many of these out there, i have only seen two, this one and another.

Good luck with the sale!

If it sells I will be getting a pontoon and a twin engine boat. I really want a boat that my kids can have more fun on and not stress so much on. I don't allow them to eat or drink on the boat, I dont pull a tube with it, if there are rocks around I dont beach it, 99% of the time the bimini is down. Every time I use it it gets detailed. I want something that I can let the kids do what they want on, bring the dog, let them jump off of the side, leave it at the docks all weekend and under my awning when I am not using it. And then have a badass toy for the other times:D

Cant argue with that reasoning! Good luck with the sale!

Sometimes it sucks being a guy, but on the bright side I might get to own 2 boats.

And get to ENJOY them without stressing:thumbsup Many times I wish I had a pontoon also so I could not worry.

I just sold my 29 Laveycraft for the exact same reasons. I LOVED the boat, but wife and kids didn't. I was always stressing how other kids on my boat would spill sodas, eat Cheetos, not throw trash away ect.... I was always getting yelled at by my spouse for getting on kids not cleaning up after themselves. OMG it was driving me f*ing insane. They could care less about trashing the boat. So now I'm going to get a 262 Cobalt BR and not give a sh*t. (Well at least I'm going to try not to) Good luck

Owning 2 boats is the way to go.

I think I need a third unfortunately for me - a pontoon or a deck boat.

I cant believe I just posted that.

I hate to hear you are parting with the Cobra. I have the other Viper that was produced that year with the 525. These boats are very impressive on the water and perform flawlessly. At that price this boat is a steal!

That's what we did albeit at little bit different level. The pontoon is great and easy to beach almost anywhere....the Schiada is strictly for some real fun......easier that way and way fewer trade-offs.

Good luck:thumbsup

Sounds like you have been enjoying the boat. That is good to hear.
