Just got done unloading our V305 with "normal windshield and hardtop" in the pouring rain here today. I'll get pictures up when it's in the building and shrinkwrap is off! It's all white with a blue hull stripe. It's a looker!!

Fire will be thrilled to see the pictures.... :mrgreen:

Same color scheme as the one at Miami ?

Yeah just with a blue stripe instead of the black

Never noticed that cabin window design before. Not a fan.

Looks baylinerish. For a 305 it looks stubby. Oh well, not a design favorite of mine.

Not one I would pick either! It does look very stubby. The side windows don't stand out too well with the black lower hull, although better with just the stripe. The overall appearance of the fittings including the dash are too angular for my liking. The grill is well positioned and out of harms way, but the hinged lid appears to make it inaccessible from the swim platform. Certainly not a lover of the high windshield option. Having said all that I wouldn't say no for a straight swap for mine :lol:

Cincy, I agree with you that the boat looks too small and stubby for it's size.

You might have to get used to this design. Remember the press release from October 2010 ??

Congrats on the new boat! I know how exciting it can be! I would like to see pics of the inside. It looks like there is a great deal of room in the cockpit.

Uhhhhh, The Kid is a boat dealer, he was saying his dealership just received the new model at their location. I'm reasonably sure he did not buy one for himself.

You can see all the pictures you would like of the interior in these links......

Stubby on plane (or guppy as I like to put it) is the norm for any cruiser less than 30'.

278 Vista

However, at rest the 305V looks pretty sporty.

As for the side windows, wouldn't it be nice if they were tinted and you could see out of them?

Very innovative design in which a lot of it's features will be copied one way or the other.

More stubby Guppy's ?????? :wink:

All 28 to 30 footers.

HAHAHA! Yes although I work for my family.. I def. don't get paid enough to own one of these!! I do agree it is a little stubby looking but like it has been said.. all 28-30' are stubby. We have the boat in one of our buildings so once it gets cleaned up and "put together" I will have photos and videos. Until then if you are close to RI stop on in and check it out in person!! Just ask for me :wink:

Nice pics of staged boats Cap'n but three are over 30' in LOA and you know it. As for the 305V, we all know she is probably only 28' without the platform so what do you expect her to look on plane?
