Glad to see they had one in the water this year. Makes a lot of sense.

Their entire business proposition is that they're designed for the weight of 4 strokes.

Maybe they shifted some weight around on the newer ones to better accommodate the F350s.

When I had the opportunity to ride on last year with F350s, they said that they reinforced the transom a little more for the torque and weight of the engines but that the rest of the boat was the same. I dont think they added/ shifted any weight.

The boat would fly and the extra weight was not that noticeable. She would still stay on plane around 20 kts w/o tab. That was pretty impressive to me.

That's because the console is up in the bow.

More due to the beam and deep vee bouyancy at the transom than anything.

I love my Reg, but I'd definitely consider a Southport for my next boat.

I know at least one Reg26 owner who switched to SP26 and loves making that decision. He's got a 26 w/ f250's, says it beat's the Reg in everything but a steep head sea ride, and you can't even tell unless you're driving into 4 footers every 3 seconds straight on.

The extra beam makes you love the boat, just so much more room. Better finished and layed out also.

Southports are beautiful boats. The dealer was at Norwalk boat show, Atlantic Outboard in Westbrook. They are the new southport dealer in CT
