My dads looking at having one built and was curious on peoples experience with them. He wants to keep the length down but the horsepower up so thinking on the 23 Daytona with a 300 merc.

I have the 25ft Infinity with a 250 Verado in Big Bear. It was the right size for that lake and has held up well for 4 seasons of sitting outside at the dock. We love that thing and have had no problems. Runs 42 on Havasu and 42 in the mountains. We ordered it from Mike at Horizon. It took a while to get but that will be any new boat now.

Wow that looks great. I have same boat . How did they do that wrap? Over the rails?looks great on toons as well. Hows it held up?
I took removed everything, new wood, carpet, had new panels made for the outside of the rails and all the way up, this is the 2nd season for the wrap. The wrap on one toon is being difficult, but the top is holds up great

Do you have any detailed pics of edges? What did the do roll the lip to get rid of sharp edge?
I don’t have any close up pics, but they did roll the edges as there are no sharp edges, then they put a seem down about 6 inches from top and another one up about 3 inches from the bottom to break it up so it’s not just a flat pieces

I have a 2014 24’ extreme with a 350mag I/O. I love the boat and the stair case on the back! I still get lots of compliments on it.

Every time I see a playcraft toon go by, they always look like they run with a nice set and "air out" and get pretty good speeds out of the power they run. Are Playcraft's known to run better than most toons?

Ive been thinking about changing my carpet out to seagrass flooring . Would love to do what you did to panels. What was ballpark number for that if you dont mind and why did you pull up decking? Did you have rot? Mine feels solid at this piont just hoping to peel off carpet scrape glue and new flooring.

Somewhere around $9000. Floor was solid but after removing everything including steering counsel and all the wires to gauges, I figured another $900 for all new marine plywood and I should be good for at least another 15 years. Moving the panels to the outside opened up another can of worms because I needed spacers for the exhaust, swim step, and tow hook in the back. But it all came together. Now just need new interior. All the metal railing and framework was powder coated and a new Bimini. Here’s a pic of the spacers I had made for the exhaust.
