Agree offshore boats are different We used 23/24 tuna boat twin engines 90 s. Catalina and back on 60 gallons no problem never had an issue we’re we needed just one motor about 2 x a week that’s the pacific
Would you consider this boat to be a relatively dry ride in a chop? Also, have you noticed any floor or decks creaking as you walk around (my friends excel bay creaks as you walk & sounds cheap/makes noise)
I was thinking on buying the very same boat; ??Is the T top secure, especially in the front where it is bolted into the fiberglass versus the floor??? ???Self bailing ????
Awesome boat. I have the 23 fusion, though minus the T-Top or some ofnthe extras you have. I'm encouraged to hear that you take yours into the open ocean, as I want to someday, but I'm concerned if my boat will be able to handle it.
Hey on your truck video of no start, you can contact GM directly. But i think there is a reflash to fix that and if that dont fix it then there is an issue with pick up tone ring in the cam bent and will cause a no start! Good luck i cant comment it in the truck video!
I have the 23 Mag Bay, feel the same way you do. It's a love hate thing with this boat. The center console flexes A LOT. The fabricator has mine now building a custom T Top for it and I told hime to build around it and stiffen it. I'm concerned because the majority of the shear load is on the front legs to hold it down. My console already has stress fractures in it. I'm just wondering how rigid the factory top is???
I am interested in this boat. Thanks for the review.
If you have any updates, please post!!!

Awesome boat but no vee will beat the heck out of you in rough water. Saw one recently that was pounding the driver.
I know you mentioned about having a different color seadeck. If so what color and why?
There is a place in Jacksonville that can put a box up there for you they did a friend of mines customnT Top custom marine
I HAVE A 21...WISH I had a 23...that blood will come right up at a car wash
Who is your guy that works on that rig?
Also, is there anything that bolts thru the console into the floor?
I think you do Wana sell that boat....lol
