Re: 26' - 28' command bridge
Hi Magster, A couple of years ago, I moved up from a 20' to 27'. Boy what a difference. It was almost like learning how to operate a boat all over again. The bigger boats are fun, but they have draw backs as well. IMHO boats over 24' are ones that need to have a sesonal dock. Just a bit to large to be trailering with. The loading/unloading is a pain also. Then not thinking about the extra square footage of hull area that needs to be washed and cleaned.<br /><br />Mine has an 8'6" beam. While on the bridge it seems to be somewhat unstable. The wider beams with a bridge are alot more stable in rough water. However the wider beams sometimes require permits to trailer them. It is all what you want in a boat, what your willing to give up for the benefits of the larger boat. I like my boat alot, but I still have some regrets on getting it. Last season was great even when my engine wasn't 100%. And that alone is why I am going to go back to the same place again this spring. We loved it dearly. Good Luck on your find.
