Any idea what the deadrise is on the 26’? My 20’ is 20 degrees at the transom. Had it out in a couple gale force days already and it handles the big water really well. Taken a few greeners over the cabin but we stay dry. It is a bit tippy up in step but trimmed properly it doesn’t pitch/roll too bad even in a following sea. It’s 3 times the boat my 215 campion was...

I never measured but probably could get it today/tomorrow. Does 17 degrees sound right, i think i measured before?

What brand and colour of gelcoat did you use? Any tinting involved? Looking great.

Hey I just used stock white from FibreTec

O and you can't be afraid of a bit, ok allot of work! :)
 
Hey gang! Funny timing... I just read the last 150 posts here.

Robert is clearly the offspring of Chuck Norris and Batman. (Chuck is the dad obviously)

Yes, it’s incredible! Yes, if I owned it it would have a pod and no fly bridge.

No, I can not afford it at this time and quite frankly it’s way more boat than I will ever need.
17-21’ is the size for me.

A little teaser... I’m in the preliminary stages of working on a boat purchase.
