No dealer in Florida is better than Fortes. Honest nice and fun to work with. I stop in every few months just to bring work to a stop. Great guys.

You'll also find doing a hard over uTurn on glassy water at 30mph and feeling the skegs kick in is WAY WAY better than 52mph

I'll be sure to empty all ballast before trying that particular trick! {grin}

So far, so good. I'm hoping it ends up being a great buying experience. I will report back here, good or bad!

Thanks!

The long-distance nature of it is complicating things but Tony is helping a lot.

I was in Iraq when I ordered mine with Tony and Dom...

Ah HA, YOU're the ones! We were going to buy the 22Ve but **someone** got to it first. Forte now has our deposit on the 24Ve so it shouldn't go anywhere.

I hope we'll both be happy with our boats!

Edit: So tell me... how did the 24Ve drive? What were your impressions? We haven't seen it in person yet. Two weeks until we get down there. We'd love to hear your thoughts!

it handles great. it has plenty of power.above all loads of room.the 22ve rides good but not quite as smooth as the 24ve.i was most impressed by how much difference 2 feet makes.we didn't buy your boat we bought ours in 2007 in virginia. it has 420 hours of trouble free operation.
