Now I'd still like to see a similar sized closed bow OB boat, don't boat builders get that people think about taking waves over the bow in a small boat...



Lou here you go, these will soon be being built in Cadillac at the Four Winns plant buy the same employees that build Four Winns, Glastron and Wellcraft.
I suspect this is similar to what you are talking about, and no doubt Jenneau will make a bow rail change for
the US market on this model.

I wasn't complaining... I like a 24' boat! :D

I was looking at the website. Looks nice, but did not see any pictures of the cabin.

rpengr,

Not much of a cabin to see, very basic. Not really meant to be more than a place to potty, take a nap, stow your gear,
or get out of the elements.

One neat feature is you can convert the cockpit seating to U shaped, L shaped or one huge sun pad, depending on your need.

So I can start planning my first *new* boat purchase, when will these be available and what name are they going under? I imagine the 6.5 (maybe the Sundowner S215OB?) will be around 60 out the door with a nice Yamaha 200.

Looks like it was built without any kind of measuring tools
http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2013- ... -102255141

Also, why is this guy asking twice it's MSRP?

Also really nice, is that the same company that made the John Allmands?

I see these boats as more adaptable to different conditions, they work in fresh or salt, if the conditions worsen when you're out, you're not worrying about the wave height as much, as if you were in an I/O bowrider where taking a wave over the bow can flood the engine compartment and short out the electrical. Naturally they cost more but the safety factor is well worth it.

Actually, they're not really more if you compare that to a Sundowner of the same size.

I can't think of a single drawback to a cuddy style vessel, it's just so dang handy for 100's of reasons. Now, if it was available to strap on a Evinrude G2 200hp to the back of that thing it would simply be gods gift to Rick.
