Calyber from NC. They sure look nice.
The 27 is really everything you would look for in a boat.
Plus its got a carolina flare

Not quite sure what they go for though, but at least it is good to dream.

gf2020,

Thanks for the info. I was referring to the 2600 WA of a few years ago. I was seeing displacement of 6625, http://yachtworld.com/core/listing/p...53&slim=quick&

That is a bit heavier than I thought but I think I can still pull it. I typically tow with as little gas as possible and keep as much equip in the truck as possible. I towed my 2150 WA with a blazer for 4 years with no problems at all.

I think the weight is a good indicator of quality. I also like the afterberth which I don't think the 25 has. Can the 25 take twin outboards? I won't buy a single engine boat again. Not that I had issues, but I don't want to get stranded off shore.

I'd be interested to hear more about the poor ride. Could it be associated with a particular setup/engines? What else have you heard? I heard the 28WA was very difficult to work on in back...very cramped, so hoping the 26 is setup a bit different. Why did they kill this boat? seems like many manuf went to 25 and 29 foot models this year. Saw that a lot at the show.

I like the looks of the calyber, but I don't know much about them.

Fish On , displacement is one thing, overall weight that you will be trailering is another completely.

My Silverado wouldn't even be able to tow that boat and it's a real truck.

26' walkaround is a heavy boat, consider a slip perhaps.
