Title: Anyone know much about these boats
Post by: 78hallettbbc on September 29, 2015, 01:19:30 PM: I am looking for info on these hulls. How they ride Smooth and rough water? Weight? Exactly what model is it? All I know is Holmes set up for BBC.

Of course mine is 22 feet and also converted to an open bow which changed where the weight sits, so it's not necessarily an apples to apples comparison
