I saw the 20.5 at the boat show and it was one of my show favorites. Very classic and clean. If it were a tad bigger, I would love that thing.

Bobby, I would think that would need trim tabs. Nevertheless, that would be a rocket. I would have to say 85-90 mph. That is one fast 23'er. :)

Very nice. I don't know what it is but I love the look of the integrated platform on boats. Howard, lavey and Cobra to name a few all have them.
To me the platform seems much more functional and inviting then a billet one hanging off of the back of the boat. If you only had this style on the 27 :cry: I would definitely be paying Dana a visit.
Great job on the 32'

I actually bought my boat because it doesnt have a integrated swim step. All boats that have them are smaller than they actually say they are. I have a friend with a 28 power quest and it is way shorter than our 27 dana. and the reason is they include his swim step when they measure the length of the boat.

Good point. I think that regulations require boat builders to include integrated steps to be included in final boat measurements.

yes and no! if it is part of the hull ...built in then yes ...if you add on like a billet then no however most builders still include it as soo .....we do not the 32' is built in and all of our other boats the measurement is with out the swim step.... be careful when buying ask them to measure it for you ....for comparing products....example our 23' is 23' with out the swim steps , and if anybody wants me to pull a tape i will no problems :rollside:
