    2520 XLD for Project

    I've been lurking here for a good while, and learning, and looking at pictures (I'm stupid, pictures help me). I'm looking to set up the "perfect boat". But I can't afford to buy it, I'm hoping to build it. So I'm looking for a 2520 XLD hull. I would like to feel good that the hull hasn't...

    FFactory - nice dolphin! FF & Nauti -- good call on the engine thing -- i did a bunch of homework yesterday. sounds like worst case i could do a pair of new powerheads for about $5000 (total). the other plus is that while i do a lot of head scratching and book reading when doing maintenance...

    Mega -- heck yeah i'd like pictures -- did you open the back up on yours or is that factory? it REALLY looks good! that canvas and isenglas work looks top notch (the rest of your boat ain't bad either...) pelagic -- what is this half/half arrangement of which you speak? my thoughts on it are...

    ehhh ... bear with me and my crazy notions -- i'd rather not have the back wall to the pilot house. could i make it go away? maybe make up some isenglass curtains for the 2 months a year i might need them? would i have to cut it out? could i make that look good? is there a chance it's...

    ok -- i'll look for the strakes. hey -- what do you guys think you'd get as far as performace with those twin carb'd (we think) yam 130's? i mean are we looking at 2 mpg at 24 knot cruise here? topping out at 35 knots? is that what i should expect? i have a single yam 300 2 stroke right...

    they are twin 130's. he also states in the ad that it's got 220 gal of fuel tank ... are we sure this thing is an MV? i'll get the HIN # when i go down and look at it. i also need to drive it - i sort of hope that it's 2-4' seas when i do -- i would like to know that the ride is...

    it helps a LOT! now i'm wondering if maybe i just run those duals until "forced" to re-power -- then going with a single ... any ideas on what that might cost? even the "number of digits of the price" would help. i'll do some homework on CL for engines... makes me want to snake the 300 hpdi...

    the guy is down in key west -- there was another one that i think is the one you are talking about -- i tried for it - is called the 'fintastic' and has single yam200 outboard. so ... i dunno. i looked at another up in miami. a couple w/o a tower (that seems dumb, cost for a tower is high).

    First time poster, long time lurker. Upper Florida Keys, mostly ocean-side fishing and spearing, would love to be able to make Bahamas run. Been looking for a 25' Pilot House with a tower (need tower for sailfish, cobia down here). Sometimes I reef fish, sometimes troll, sometimes run out to...
