Miami Boat Show

I went to the Miami Boat show on Saturday and stopped by the SeaCraft booth. Looked at the 23 tournament which is actually 26’ long and 8.6 beam. Has a flat deck a intergraded bracket with twin 250 mercury 4 strokes on the back carries 170 gal tank.

Boat looked good but has a hefty price tag on it. I didn’t see it in the water but twin 4 stroke mercury’s on the back got to be heavy on a 23-26’ 8 ½’ beam boat.

There actually 275 Merc Verado's... Believe it or not but that is the same boat that was in the show last year, SeaCraft still has not been able to sell that boat... with a whoppinggggg tag of $127K

With twin 250 or 275 that boat must fly and probably does fly out of the water. Sea conditions control speed on smaller boats then horse power I prove that to my self every time I take out my 23’ with just one 225 on her.

I still think they should take the 32’ and re do its transom to make it a intergraded bracketed boat out of it.

It's not as fast as you may think considering the power. Sport Fishing magazine did a test on it in either the Jan or Feb issue. I believe top end was 57-58 mph. I'm guessing those heavy Verados are somewhat working against top end.

That is in fact not the same boat. It was sold shortly after the show last year. It also had 250's on it.

If you go to this thread on THT you can also see how it floats with the Verados.
