My bucket list boat. Nice work and congrats.

Although I think my Essex Sterling rides pretty good, compared to my Lavey Sebring anyway, I feel that 26 would be the perfect river lake combo boat.

Yes, seriously, let us know. Lavey is definitely at the top of my list now for a replacement boat. I really think it will handle the rough stuff great.

Let us know what it's got option wise: Motor (ETA: you mentioned 496HO), drive, trim tabs (if any) gas tank size, etc.

I've heard that the 26 isn't a speed demon but the ride is the cat's ass. Where I'd use it, its all about the ride, lake's got a speed limit.

If I did a 26 it would be Open Bow Walk Through to match what I've already got which I like a lot.

It's by no means a speed demon.. built like a brick shit house! Heavy!! It did get to 60mph alot quicker than I thought it would...and that's fast enough for me and the family. No tabs on this one. 80 gallon tank. This thing planes super fast ..running a 24p bravo 1 prop. We boat parker and havasu.. we were getting beat up in our 22 essex on the strip as we mostly are able to only boat weekends. Problem solved with this boat. Cabin is huge also.

Damn, you beat me to it. I had been eye balling that one for the last couple of days.

Killer upgrade there, we will see you at the dam run this year it looks like. Yank those inversion plates out and let’s rip.

Nice ride very clean. When we had our 236 built, it was down to that and a Nu Era 24. While I'm very happy with the performance of the 236 I sometimes wish I had went with the rough water ride, but that wasn't my priority 12 years ago. Enjoy.
