Went from a 24' (27 Fever) to a 30' (35 Lightning). The move from small single to small twin was definitely worth it. Did it with a 30% increase in cost (Shopped hard).

Now here is a subject I know something about.
18 ft century try hull >

$5k
23 ft DONZI single 350 >
$12k
30 ft SCARAB 2x502 >
$25k
It doubled in size each time!!!
The SCAR has the power and WEIGHT to crush waves like the scum that they are... and the dual engines to get me home after I break...

Went from 25 checkmate 251 to a 34 scarab that is 36 ft long. WOW what a difference (26,000 to 80,000) I don't buy new that way I can buy more boat for the money. I buy 2 years old. You WILL be happy with the bigger boat. Just remember that you have to be able to afford more than just the monthly payment.

Well I made the jump from a 27 Baja to a 43ft Black Thunder with Blower Motors. That was a big jump in $$$$. I have no regrets! I love the big boat and the big power!
