Default Best used 27 footer

In the next year or so, I'll be in the market looking at this size range (give or take a couple feet), moving up from a 22. I'm not looking for too much $$$ since I don't plan on keeping this boat for more than a few years. Ideally, I'd like to hit speeds of 70+.

what are the best brands out there? for performance and resale value? any help is much appreciated!

If you can find one, 27' Activator.

I'm looking around 50K give or take. I;ve seen lots of Fountain, Donzi and Baja's listed at that range, but I'm open to any brand. I'm looking for something that has good resale value, well-built and dependable, while still giving good performance (70+), and preferrably less than 10 yrs old

(I may have to look for a fountain 32 as well! )

is a cabin important? do you prefer stand up bolsters or sit downs? there are many boats to choose from in that price range. a 32 fountain may be out of your price range. for another 10k, you could get a 30 superboat y2k brand new with a 496. look at Panteras, activators, kryptonites, sunsation to name a few.
