Dad is looking for a new boat.
He has a 21' hewescraft , love it. But could use a little bigger boat, more occupancy , and mom could use a smoother ride. Has had a few hernia surgery
Hewes, NWjet, or Thunderjet. Any inputs?
-
Where will it be used? East side Rivers or the sound?
Might consider putting Duckworth on the list as well.
-
Columbia, snake river mostly.

Is he going to be selling his current boat? My brother is in the market for what he's currently running. Pm me with me with details.

The only way your gonna get a smother ride in choppy water is with more weight like a glass boat. Aluminum sit high on the water and kind of bounces of waves instead of cutting thru them.
-
More weight and deepest v.

I'll ask him for pics and info

Glass is not a option
V he would get with a ocean pro or similar

:yeah: Both answers aren't the greatest for a river boat. You can get a great boat in either aluminum or glass, just be prepared for sticker shock and the need for an expensive tow vehicle.

He is in process of buying a 22' ocean pro hewes. It's got a few add-ons.
He and I have 7.3, so we should be fine towing the weight
