Ok so I have been doing a lot of research but want opinions, no it will not be new and I prefer FI over carbs. I have narrowed it down to Baja, Scarab, and Donzi, still considering 1 or 2 more (Sonic and Sunsation)but what would you suggest. 25 or 27ft. I have seen different opinions on both.

How many of y'all read the OP and thought, "this probably belongs on the OT?"

Seriously, I've always had a little soft spot for Donzi- do it!

Yeah I have looked at a few of them, they are in the running. Nor-Tech is way past what I want to spend along with DCB's.

You should get a 29' SeaVee and put some custom benches up front and back that are removable. Nice stereo and you're set. You'd actually have something with resale value and utility.

ETA: or a fine arse runabout.

The only two brands i have any experience with (just riding in / being around) is Baja and Fountain.

Both were quality brands, very well built.

The only TDOB approved performance boat would be one you can drop out of an airplane, dry start, and does 100+ mph.

Get the one the seals use, I think it's called a HSB (not the MKV) they used to build them in New Orleans east (Halter Marine)

I got a ride on the fiberglass demo boat as a kid, we went across lake pontchartrain from New Orleans by the point parallelled the causeway all the way to Mandeville in 17 minutes at night.

There's one on eBay right now, for $8500 you can get a slightly damaged Kevlar hull.

Yeah I saw it yesterday on there. I dont think it will be there when I get back. Go buy it for me and park it at my house. You will have to move my jetski and a few other things. I will hit you up later and tell you what's up, wife is back in hospital.
