Thats right. If you carry that many people it means kids. Gets way to cramped and I need my space.

Or better yet... just rip the sticker off and you have no official capacity and can't be stopped for it!

Until they ask you the year of your boat and then they notice that you don't have one on it.

Technically a boat that big does not need a cg sticker. This is right out of the USCG Regs site.

The Coast Guard Capacity Information label is required only on monohull boats less than 20' in length. The label is not required on multi-hull boats, pontoon boats (catamarans), or on any sailboats, canoes, kayaks, or inflatable boats, regardless of length.

East coast smeast coast.... I've offered to fly people out or like DaBell drive to them.

The 24V is 14, not 12 DaBell.... unless I got a special boat w/ a special sticker

In all seriousness though.... if that price is right w/ the 24V, get it. You won't regret it one bit! Awesome boat and awesome storage. Just check it over for any stress cracks or anything else. Good luck.

My 2005 is 12 people.

I personally think the 06 Speed set sucks. It turns off every time you shut the engine off, so you have to get the perfect speed all over again. No digital display. 1/4 mph really does make a difference and getting the speed just right takes some brief tweeking. All of this was corrected in 07. Just an example of something coming out before it was well thought out.

There is a small difference in the hull and I think the V wake is better, personally. You cannot get it to be quite as steep with the Ve. My 24V has more variety. The TAPS seems to really go from very steep to very rampy. Just personal preference. The Ve is not bad by any means.
