What size
What size are you looking at?Had a 24 foot with a 470 mercruiser in it.Reasonably comfortable and dry ride for its size.Replaced to 470/170hp for a 400ci chevvy and change gearing in the leg,went from 22 knots to 35 and cruise at 28 using less fuel in the process.

Divers
There was two pro shell divers who had one that size years back,met them at Gharaloo,they came from Albany.They fitted round sponsons along the chines to give it greater stability.It had a volvo in it.They used to cart it on a tri axle traler behind an ex army 6x6 truck
