So we brought this beauty home last night! :D The guys at Chatlee Marine in Sanford, NC were great to work with and got me what I felt was a fair deal on a 2016 before they were out of inventory.

We upgraded from an SX192. After our first time on the water with another couple we learned real quick that a 19' is not meant for entertaining. The space on this 24' is amazing! It was actually easier to convince my wife than I thought it would be and we are super excited!

During the test ride/drive I could definitely get a feel for how much heavier and more stable it was than our last. Taking her out tomorrow to break her in.

Nice upgrade!
 
Congrats. ...just bought mine in May and I love it!
 
Congratulations! I'll bet Joey at Chatlee went through the boat with you...he's a great guy! I was there on Monday dropping my boat off.....good folks there!

Yep! Joey was the one that ran us through the drills. Very good team to work with down there. I've only used them a couple of times before for some service on our last boat but they're my go to now and I'll definitely recommend them to others.
 
Wow! Sweet looking craft. Guess next we get to help name her, before we start making you a mod list.... :) Enjoy!

We did the same thing, upgraded from the 192 and have never looked back
