Canyon Bay 2400 Sea Trial

[funfisher1]

I had a chance to sea trial the Canyon Bay 2400 and boy was I impressed. I ran the tower boat that they have there as a demo with the 250 Verado. I have included a short video and pictures so everyone can see what I saw. Very impressed with the people that run Canyon Bay and Chris (the salesman) was very good. Here are the numbers that I experienced with the 2400. Before anyone says "he must work for canyon bay" no I do not I thought I would just share the info about this boat like many others share about other boats.

LOA 23'8"

Deadrise 18 degrees

Beam 8'8"

Fuel Capacity 100 Gallons

Weight 2500 before rigging

Draft 13" Fully loaded

Power 150 to 300hp

Freeboard 22"

Sea trial conditions for the day moderate chop inside Tampa Bay 2-3' with seabreeze. 50 gallons of gas with 2 people. Boat cruised with the Mercury Verado with 21 pitch Mirage Plus SS Prop at 30 mph 4000 rpm and got an average of 3.5mpg. WOT with the Tower was 53mph. Without the Tower estimated at around 56 to 57mph. The boat handled the chop without a problem whatsoever. The amount of fishing space on this boat is awesome from the front huge deck to the open area in the stern this is truly a hybrid bay boat. I would feel very comfortable going offshore in this boat.

Here are some pics.

I have been talking with Chris as well, he seems like a good guy. The boat looks awesome. Did you get any photos of the front deck?
