[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 224188, member: 412"] Towing, launching/loading, and storage all become a significantly bigger challenge. As does boat control. Plenty of 22'-28' Sport-Craft boats on LOW as well, but, those are either trolling (usually w/downriggers), drifting, or anchored. If one fishes Devils, you're not getting a big center console or SportCraft under the bridges. Ranger used to make their 620 with a center console and Yar-Craft used to offer a 219 CC (center console). Same basic hull design but the CC allowed one to stand up when running and take the waves with your whole body instead of just your back and back-side. Those 2 CC's were set-up such that one could get under the DL bridges with them. 25' Grady White is 4300# dry. Add 400HP motor (or, more likely twin 200's), 135Gal of fuel, all the stuff one would normally carry in a boat + the weight of a trailer and you're towing ~7K# worth of boat/motor/trailer. You're also going to need 30'+ worth of garage to store it and no less than 2' of water to float it. [/QUOTE]
