someday soon

You better not buy it! I really want it but am 6+ hours away. Seems too good to be true?

I'll go buy it and move in a few weeks after finding a trailer. If anyone knows it, I'd really appreciate your opinion.

Really always found the First 24 far less compelling an option then the later First 235, from hull design to interior layout/construction. That being said, they seem to be less expensive on average for sure. And they CAN come with a lot of beer cups.

Kevin, I mean in the picture ther are many red beer cups.
I am not sure what it's PHRF rating is, if you google "First 235 PHRF" and "First 24 PHRF" you might be able to get a comparison. The higher the PHRF or handicap number, the slower the boat.

ok. thank you. didn't notice that.

i found the phrf last night. think it was 225 or something. not sure. i was really hoping it was a 235, but it's not. so i'm losing interest.
