Well, here in the land of Bajas and Checkmates, everybody looks at me like I have three heads when I politely inform them my "Cigarette boat" is a Progression....

I love the looks and calm lake performance of the Tuff 28 however as anyone seen one of these boats operate in two foot seas or better?

Mark built these to run - call him @ Tuff Boats. The build quality and attention to detail is unreal

It's 2 feet longer....

Badump bump

I think I'd prefer the 29 with twin O/B over the 27. The 24LD and 27 are sit downs, the 24XL and the 29 have the option for stand up bolsters. The 29's sunpad is longer, and rough water handling is supposed to be better at the cost of some top speed. I'm VERY happy with my 24 High Deck/XL, but I still find myself browsing for a used 29.

I concur the build quality is second to known and I've spoken with him at length. My question was really to hear first hand accounts from owners and possibly some video of these boats being run in ruff conditions. I just haven't seen or heard of owners speaking on there ruff water prowes......

Yeah, you get wet every so often due to the smallness of the boat, but so what, that is cool. 18' Donzi, I loved that boat. Hot 20 something girls out on the boat, waitresses/barmaids out with me in the boat, some Budweiser, and portable radio --- Glory days!
I feel ya! My dad bought an 18 new jn 76, i was 16 and picking up 18/20 year old hotties in that lil puppy. That boat stuck out like a sore thumb in anapolis which is a big blowboater town. That 18 flew straight and true!

I looked at one years ago and after owning a 18 and 22 donzi was very unimpressed with the sea ray
