I'm having a hard time finding something that is clean, has nice graphics/paint, not bottom painted, and priced where I need to be. My first choice is still a Fountain but the Baja has a lot to offer! For 120k I can get into a 2006-07, can't do that with a Foutain....

When I first saw a 405, I really liked it. I'd consider something like that. But it strikes me as being low on cabin amenities for a 40 footer.... Do they have showers and a reasonably sized lav/head?
It's funny, I find myself looking at quite a few EC type boats lately.

The more I look at the 405's, the more I like them as we'll.i
I have never been on one but I will be making plans to change that soon.

From doing research it seems there aren't a whole lot of them out there, either model, or am I wrong?
I would like to hear from owners of both models what it is that they like specific to their boat if possible.
Thanks,
Mike

I spent a year looking for our 405 , found 4 online and looked at all of them. 3 where salt water boats (not very good condition) and the 4th one sold before I could get there. Sold for 139 in Mo. Was in Tn and saw one on a lift with 124 hours and begged to buy it. You are correct there are not many 405's around only 65 where ever made and about 20 are overseas so that leaves about 45 or so here in north america. I have researched them till my eyes bled, so if you have any questions please ask and I'll tell you everything I know. We brought ours home and it is the big hit in the res, everyone loves it including us.

We have the boat on a lake so the waves are not that big, we will get a bit of white rollers every now and then and the 405 performed beautiful. It handles very well in turnes and is smooth as silk. The person that did the survey said it was one of the best feeling performance yatchs he had driven.
We have stayed overnight on the boat many times and have no complaints, wish it was a bit wider but I'm more than happy with it. The interior upgrades we did are the tv (32inch), stereo, microwave (700 watt vs 500), and changed to led lighting inside and out. We even put a 42 in led light bar on the radar arch for the front and a 12inch one for the rear, I'm scared to use it because of how bright it is and I know someone is not going to be happy but it's wicked.
Need anything else let me know.

Im 6'5" and in the galley area and backward I have no issue. It has a shared head and shower. I have mine on a trailer, but have yet to tow very far. Its a big load with truck and trailer I will say that.
