with having jets the back is still going to be "flatter" so I would want to test before buying to see how it does in the chop/wave action off coast.

If i go with a CC I'm buying something more comfortable. Ever see yamaha adding Trim Tabs stock to these or the 27 if they release one of those in a CC in few years?

Layout is nice and fits my family great
 
my concern as well; been debating of buying this boat or getting a used 25 or 27 with twin outboards;biggest concern is rough water handling... any ideas??
 
If I am not mistaking, they all have a 20 degree deadrise just as the 24 ft had, so except for the addition weight of the redesigned vessel, its going to ride approx like the the 24 ft vessels.
 
@06c6z06 The freeboard will be 4" higher as well.
