Nice pictures! Looks like a fun crew.
I measured Johns boat on Friday and got 78" to the top of his pilothouse, no rails or anything else included. I also noticed I don't fit in his pilot house. I am 6'3". He has a 2002 2520 Open Back. Sat I measured the 2530 and Got 83" to the top of the pilot house, I also fit inside the 2530. So there is a little difference, either in years or models. It also looks like the step down on the 2530 is a little deeper than the 2520. Just an observation.
Now I just need to sell my boat and decide If I want to spend the big chunk of change for the new boat. Thanks for all the replies. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated.
