There's a couple good youtube vids and I read one article that sounded good. Go go the sea ray section on here if you haven't already. My understanding is they were pretty high priced for the features you get. Awsome looking boats!

I just read they're an H2X hull? The review I read wasn't the best though, they guy saw some fit and finish issues but nothing sounded really serious. He also said they stickered at $100k though.

From what I understand they share the same hull as the Hammer X that was reintroduced just before Baja was taken over by Fountain. The top deck is all Sea Ray.
As far as going to the Pachanga for a better ride over your 20 Outlaw, you may see a slight improvement from gaining a little bit of length and weight but it is still only a 21 degree deadrise boat.
For that kind of money, I would be looking for a used 25 Outlaw.

The boat is well worth 42,000 to 44,000. If that is really the price.
A few details. . .
The hull is the Baja HammerX hull, Sea Ray kept a couple molds and Fountain got one.
I'd suggest the 377 package, I think the best power/weight/price ratio. The 496 is OK, but dissapointing to have to connect it to the huge Mercury XTS drive. Brunswick was a little worried about top speed and wanted to keep that limited. What are you looking to do with the boat, top end or some water sports?
The boat will ride like its on rails, and this is definitly the case when compared to a Fountain or SeaRay.
Any other more specific questions?
