Kachna 23' Or Lavey Craft 24'

Im In The Market For My 1st Custom Boat What Is Your Take On These 2 Boats??

[RiverDave]

Between the 2 you'd be better off with the Lavey all day long.. Nicer hull, Better Lay up, nicer rigging.. Pretty much better boat.
If your buying used though, buy my Nordic (click link in signiature line )

I don't think there even close to the same price....
24 Lavey is a very nice boat and would be at the top of my list.
Kachina would be 5 or 6 down unless your looking for a one of a kind over the top gel design(Stay away from Hobbits,dragons or mermaids with fat necks)

Lavey...nuff said...
Do a search on Kachina and come to your own conclusions....
Popcorn???

Popcorn???
Pretty sure Kachina could gel popcorn on the side of a boat :crossx:

The Kachina Is 50 Grand 68 For The Lavey I Just Want To Be Happy With The Boat I Get...also Is A 23 Too Small

I have a '99 24 NuEra, bought it used. L-O-V-E it.
No exp. w/Kachina, but my impression is that they are a "less expensive" boat.
Good luck.

In this case you get what you pay for.
If your looking for a good compromise take a look at the 23" Dana.(Nice boat and should be cheaper than the Lavey)
I believe in bigger is better...boat wise
Anything smaller than a 25 would be a little scary on Havasu on a big weekend or if the wind picks up.
Where are you going to be running and how many people usualy ride on the boat?
The 25 shockwave is alot of boat for the $$ and would handle anything you throw at it.(Ocean included)
