I've got a couple engines that would be perfect for that
One thing not brought up often with those types of hulls is it takes big power to push them because of the sharp entry and deep V all the way to the back. They fall off plane easily and require good power to keep them on the plane. I talked to some of the guides with Grady White’s around the area and they say something similar.

You'd be surprised how efficient a 23 can be. They are a 3+mpg boat in good conditions with a single 250. Guys with the diesel 23 laugh at those nunbers but I think they are pretty good.
By the time my investments recover, everyone else's will have too. And back up we go!Guess we finally got the crash people have been going on about. Free trailer with papers is almost a good deal, the Hourston is just proof JT is bringing down inflation.
35 foot aluminum not the kind of discounting you are looking for but still fun @Rain City

Why in the actual **** would anyone want an aluminum boat for pleasure cruising?Guess we finally got the crash people have been going on about. Free trailer with papers is almost a good deal, the Hourston is just proof JT is bringing down inflation.

You're just jealous hahaha
Yeah f… aluminum. Here you go. 10k 10 foot beam and 28 feet. Handle any seas. Good on gas. What more would a guy want? https://www.facebook.com/groups/1367081869988231/permalink/6444960122200355/?mibextid=6ojiHh
Oh Chicken Ship, I am running a 22 year old eaglecraft that is still as dry as a popcorn fart.
Yep modified vee is more efficient but size for size I’d rather be riding in the Hourston on a ****** day.
Why does our government give these things away if they could have sold it that easy as well.
How did they give it away? Auction was held, highest bidder got them both.
Yeah I get it and they need to do this because they have so much surplus it's just convienant. Say the person who spent the time posting the auction item called Thunderbird "hey can you sell these boats?" but this is small fry compared to the money the Feds waste
Because they don't care about your money. Oh wait, that was a rhetorical question wasn't it.
I know someone who had a 40’ aluminum sailboat and lived on it with 2 kids for a number of years… not this guy! I agree work boat or fishing.
I would take a Coastal Craft cruiser any day. But not your typical aluminum cruising boat.
Ching$#@!
