Default Looking for Baja open bow

Hello Everyone, Looking for little help locating a Baja 252 open bow. Sold a cuddy and wife would like to try a open bow. So want to stay in the Baja family and go with a open bow. Any help or leads would be appreciated.

Look at the 272 Islander as well. Little bigger hull 25' vs 23'

Navy252 is selling his 252 Islander. Don't think he has it listed yet but per comments, fixing too. He bought Jason Smith's 29OL last year. Don't know if he's a member here but could be. He is on another forum.

I see 2 things. Wrong size anchor hiding and ready to hit you and maybe the skeg repair thingy.

Let's hear why because my family and I have put over 100hrs on it and never had a problem.

Edit: knowing Sydwayz he has to be talking about how my anchor is a little too small for the anchor locker which is true lol. I couldn't find a bigger anchor that was rubber coated and I'm so OCD about my boats that I didn't want to scratch the gelcoat with a galvanized anchor.

I normally have it secured using the clevis to the anchor eye in the locker and 95% of the time my family & I are just cruising the lake at 30-35mph.
