Default Re: Not quite a Savage but...

And they are real slow. Very heavy. I once considered a 26 F/B until I sea trialed it. They had two versions of the 26. One was a rounded chine with a very flat stern area and the other was a sharper V type entry flattening as it went aft to again a very flat stern. Very similar to the Egg Harbors.

In a light chop they did OK because of the relative high weight and being so flat in the stern, they did not roll on a drift as much as some of the deep Vee's. The later 70's and early 80's were notorious for blistering, as a lot of the larger boats that almost always went in to the water in the spring and stayed there all season. This was even a greater problem in the warmer climates than here in the NE. They were built like tanks with plenty of glass,and probably very good once sorted out, but they can be particularly deep money pits.
