Here is my problem.....I have a great 21' Hallett Vector, while it is a great boat, everything you guys have is huge, and it has gotten me to thinking, am I rolling on the small side??? It's a good fast boat to be sure, but DAVE from DCB has a used 28 down there for about 62....I have been offered 70-75 for mine.....what do you guys think?? Should I roll into Daves boat? Or hang on to my classic kick ass, take names and chew bubble gum hot rod?? And since a vector is basically the same as a schiada, how well do these boats handle in rougher water?? I have only had it running up north a few times, and to the river once or twice out of Catherines....and a bunch of times down to the sandbar....have never had it in larger waved water...let me know what you guys think.....here is a pic of Daves boat....

Just curious, but what do you have into your boat to get 70-75 for it? Is it a v-drive Vector? If you can get that kind of dough for it then I'd sell it. I've seen twin turbo Schiadas sell for 60k. And I don't think that the vector and the Schiada 21 RC are basically the same. Same concept but 2 totally different boats.

Screw the DCB. Sell it and get a twin turbo Schiada. :rollside: I personally would go this way just because I like the smaller boats. And Schiadas are my fav. I dig the Vectors too though. And these hulls can handle some chop. If I want the luxury of a bigger boat, I'm sure I can bum a ride somewhere. :rollside:

Hang on to the Vector, those hulls kick ass cause that's what they were made for. It will handle some of the rougher water also. :)

Just depends on where you will be doing a majority of you boating. I would go for the boat at DCB. Ride on rough water will be much better and it opens many more bodies of water. Just my .02...

I'd have to see your Vector, but rolling into a 28' DCB, and putting 8k-13k in your pocket?
Get on the phone now, unless that Vector is really something special.

Just because everyone else has a big boat does not mean you have to have one. Have a boat that meets your needs, not the needs that everyone else tells you you should have. If you like the Hallett better keep it. If you really feel the need to step up to a larger boat because you're 'rolling kinda small' go for the DCB. It's your boat afterall.

I agree 100%.

Nice!!! :rollside:
Oh and don't buy a big boat just because everyone else has a big boat. I would take our 22' Stoker over the DCB but that just suits us better. Doesn't matter what other people think. Its all about what you like. :boxed:

Why do you have to cloud his judgement? We want him to get the boat we want... :hammer2: :D

I agree. I stepped back down to a 28' from a 38' boat because we were not using it in the ocean much and I could not be happier. If I lived in Havasu and boated during the week when there was not much traffic on the lake I might even consider dropping down to something smaller. It is nice rolling to the sandbar, getting out, grabbing the bow eye and pulling it onto the sand with little effort. Don't let what other people have influence your decision. It is your boat and you need to decide what is best for your situation. I have some of the best times in my pontoon boat and i could care less what anybody thinks. :cool:
