336 Canyon

I rode one last year before I made the final decision on my boat- and I thought the ride was pretty good. The 350's pulled that boat out of the hole pretty well, and although we were in flat conditions, it seemed like a solid ride. I think we saw just about 50 at WOT, so it's no rocket. Economy was around 1.1-1.2 mpg at cruise.

The price at the time including West coast delivery and a fair amount of options (no genset) was right at $200k.

What turned me off was the build quality was sloppy, maybe just because this was one of the first hulls. Some examples: On the port transom corner there is a hinged fish box with a removable tray or liner, the liner did not fit (at all) and the lid would not close. The tower pipework where it attached to the console area was welded too short-it did not reach far enough on one side for the round flange to contact, so they just added a few more round flanges stacked like washers until the distance was made up.

In the leaningpost livewell I raised the lid and ran my hand underneath the upper inside surface and got a hand full of fiberglass shards.

Also, be aware that they use only polyester resin (no vinylester) and this boat will likely be wet slipped, so blistering is a real concern. Naturally, the warranty excludes blisters.

At $150k, this would be decent boat, at the prices they are asking, you can do better.

6-8' seas ??? now honestly,be serious here,would you really want to run in a 6'-8' ???
trust me,i know how your rig,a 25 grady rides in a 3-4' sea,it will beat you to a pulp-again,a close 3-4' sea in that rig is not a good place to be,right ?? now,with that,would you really want to run that bigger gw in a tight 6-8' sea ??? there's no small boat made,small being under 35' that's gonna run good in a tight 6-8' sea
don't believe what other owners tell you,and certainly don't believe what a boat review in a magazine tells you-ANY magazine...

Nah, i'm not saying i want to be in the 25'er in 6-8's hell noo. Just the 25 Advance did better than I expected (not like super smooth but better then i thought it would do)

P.S. I meant $220K. I'm sorry for the mistake and hope it doesnt cause any more confusion.
