240 no question is the largest. Ride is subjective, 30, 50, 70 mph?

Bullets are small for their size. Halletts are oversized for their size. 24 Lavey would be somewhere in between.

I would have to agree with this.

Can’t comment on which is the better ride because I’ve only been in and driven the Lavey 24 NuEra

Not much room in the 24 Lavey. 5 is cramped in the back/cockpit. The cuddy is difficult to crawl through because the belly tank extends in about a foot. A blast to drive though

240 halletts are an excellet boat. They take rough water well, and have a ton of room, like enough room to comfortably camp in the boat for several days.

Room wise 240 Hallett. Ride? Depends on speed

Bullet rides great for its size on holiday weekends on the strip. My buddy has a walk thru with blue motor.

I rode in and got to drive a buddies 25 bullet and thought it was amazing but way too small for my family. About a year later I rode in a buddy's Cole 250 and thought it had to be at least a 28 because in comparison so much larger than the bullet. The bullet is an amazing boat but if you're looking for size it's definitely not the winner.

He was in my 260 last trip out saying how much bigger of a boat it is. Mine takes 2 people to load and dock his is a 1 man job like my old 22 was.

I had a 25 Bullet before I got my 28 Closed Bow in 07, I boat in the Delta and my 25 was great. My 28 even better, but yes not a lot of room. I rode in a 24 Hallett in Havasu great ride.

Not much to Add, the 240 rides really well for how wide it is.. The 24 Lavey is gonna be the best "true rough water" boat.. The Bullet I'd bet would be the fastest of them all power to power, the 240 being the slowest (by a lot) and the 24 Lavey will be right with the bullet. If you were looking to haul ass or run in the 90's my choice would be the Lavey.

Have you been in a Nordic Rage MCOB?? 496 puts it at 72, tons of room, rides great on top.

Is that with a standard 496 or an HO?

I’ve driven the Lavey 24 NuEra with a standard 496 Mag to that speed.

Hallett - You can put ice chests behind the captains chairs and still have legroom, or use them like an ottoman.

My 230 eagle is big and has more seats then a hallet! I put ice chest behind both seats.
It handles lake mead white caps with easy. Haven’t had it down in havasu yet but I’m sure mead gets way rougher then anythin havasu has to offer!
