Have you spoken with NorCalCat (Erik) yet? He took delivery of a new Force 29'er last summer and may be able to share some good inside info. I know he scarfed the 540 that it came with already (at very few hours).....but Force stood by it and I believe did a COMPLETE replacement for him. I'm a big fan of Force products and I'm pretty certain you'd be very happy with that hull. True to an earlier post though, you may want to bounce up to a larger motor for a boat that big even if it does hurt the wallet a bit. All the more reason to make contact with NorCalCat before you finalize your purchase. It takes a lot of power to get that sucker on plane in a timely fashion. And, when you're spending that kinda cha-ching for a toy.....another $10K isn't that big of a deal.
Good luck & let us know what ya get.
