I know they built quite a few 24's with twins, this one was known as the Instigator:

One of my all time favorite progression ads:

Which is now known as the 24LD

[Instigator]

they also make a 24 XL which has about 6" more head room in cabin and a bit wider and longer than the standard 24.
It trips my trigger!!!
Have looked for something better/newer than my 24' Sonic since I bought it 6 yrs ago. That is the first boat to do it for me.

Bad news is... I got no damn money.....
Scary news is... bet I can still find somebody to finance me :eek:

[blkmtrfan]

Of course you can get financing, you live in America right ;)


Another boat I really like in that size range with twins is the 25 powerplay:

Probably not as big of a cabin as your boat or the Progression 24xl, but very cool otherwise. :cool:

[Instigator]

I really like the Power Plays "A LOT" too. Hate the freagin notched transoms though and yeah flat, deck/narrow beam equal tiny/low cabin.
That is why I have kepted my Somic so long.
The I/O guys all think it's 30'.
Sit up head room bellow deck, even while on the porta poptti reading the paper :D
I use my damn boat like it's 40' and evidently no one else does. I talked to the woner of Progression today and let's just say I am impressed!!
Sent an e to Checkmate and asked if they'd build me an O/B also??
We'll see. If I was smart (I'm not), I'd run like hell!!
My thinking is using the motors off my Sonic.
Have to see if I can put on account. Acount I got no damn money :p
Doesn't usually get in my way though. Neither does common sense.

Joe Addiago from S. Jersey has one, it might be for sale. I'll get you his email when I get home. I'm not sure of his username.

[Instigator]

Cool! Thank you sir. Keep in mind though, most that I have seen are either the 237 or 24 LD (low deck) both of which are the ones with the tiny cabins.
Needs to be the LX model

[jerry]

if you want a cabin go buy a searay !!!
if you want blistering speed get a 24 ld twin 300x's

[Instigator]

There in...lies the problem!!
I want both. (excluding the black mohtars of course :p )
Sold a 32' cruiser to buy my Sonic and ain't looked back!
Problem is now I'm spoiled by being able to leave Ohio main land and head across Lake Erie to Leamington Ontario (an awesome trip if the lake's descent) and hang for the weekend you know what I mean??
If I could swing the finances, I gurantee you to show you two white motors pushing a 24 LX where it ain't been very often.
Talked to the owner of Progression via phone today and we both figure his boat to be "at least" 1000 lbs lighter than my Sonic!
His boat has a pad, mine has a round keel.
Mine ran 78/80 GPS with stock motors on my pig. What do you think they'd do on one of his pieces of art work??
Oh yeah, and those speeds were with stock power.
They're no longer stock :cool:
I figure robably low 90's pretty easilly, maybe more??? Andddd, sleeps two, seating for four bellow deck.
Plusssssss, write it off as a second home :)
We'll see....
Just a wet dream so far.

Want both:

Outerlimits or Nor-Tech ;)

[Instigator]

Can afford neither!!
I lived about a mile from the Nortech factory in Fla and they build some freagin ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) scary stuff if you had the coin!

[blkmtrfan]

Gary that was more for jerry than you. ;)


I really don't think there are too many S&Fers that can go that direction, maybe Norris if he sells his secret stash, LOL :D

Amazing boats though :cool:
