Also, he probably started insuring it before it was over 20 years, so now it is grandfathered in. |
Cgarrett, I know your old boat very well, Preston is a great guy. I think one of the motors finally let go last summer, not sure what he is doing but he really needs to upgrade with Trip 300's, that would be sweet. The boat is in great condition, renamed it Pole Position.

Nobody has mentioned them yet, but they fit the size range and come with twins in your price range... The Baja 29 and 33 Outlaws.. I know everyone likes to knock them cause they are a "production" boat but they are affordable and offer alot of what you are looking for. Ive been on both and the 33 defiantely has some nice room. The 29 is a lil tighter, the bed was too small for my likes. But both boats have good headroom in the cuddy and the 33 has a huge cockpit. By the way, Im 6' 224lbs.

Thanks for the advice.
I haven't ruled out the Sunny's, I would be up for one if the deal was right. Size wise, like total passenger space, how does the 28 AT compare to the 32 Sunny? I've also been looking at 32 Hustlers as they seem like a good option as well. What does everyone think of them? Seems like a later 90's one could be had for a decent deal and still be insurable and hopefully "turnkey". |

Got the perfect boat for ya and its local too (see avatar). shoot me an email with your # and we can chat. The boat is in storage in harrison twp. I didn't expect to sell but I just moved up to a new boat and will be looking to move this spring (or sooner). I'd like to finish it as it has been a long project for me and when you get this far you want to see it thru. If you are interested I can finish to your request as well - rear seat config, colors, graphics (painted all white in '06 and in storage since). heck I'll even build a mild motor if you prefer. All the best - 489 tall deck with worked brodix heads, t&d rockers, etc, IMCO extension box, marine machine steering, Lonseal flooring, highback bolsters, full Livorsi Monster guages, aluminum tri-axle, etc, etc. [email protected] NEIL |
Suprised no one has mentioned the 28 apache. Bigger engine bay than the AT, about the same freeboard. Same size cabin, only the AT has an eclosed head, so the apache is much more roomier.
My short list when shopping was 28 pantera, saber, apache. Found a deal on an apache and never looked back. Most are old and outdated or in need of repair, but if you could find a newer model it would be an easy decision. I liked the bullet, just too big and heavy. By the time I bought a bigger truck and kept up with the maintenance I might as well of boughten a 35 cafe or 38 top gun. Take it for what its worth, every member here is going to think his boat is the best..........naturally, or they wouldn't have bought it. |

You're right, it is funny how when you ask about a few specific boats, eveyone chimes in with their brand.:party-smiley-004: J/K, as it does help surface some things you may not have looked at. However, I've been looking/narrowing it down for over 3 years (it is no coincidence all the ones I'm looking at get "approval").:drink: If I found a newer Apache I'd be interested maybe, but for the most part they are too old to insure/finance easily, same problem as the Bullet. I think I'm going to stick to 15 years old or newer if possible. Really the only thing older I'm interested in is a Cig. |

I think it all depends on what you are looking most for... If Turnkey is your #1 priority any type is fine as long as it has been taken care of properly. If you are looking for speed then there are brands made specifically for that. Some are better in the rough then others as well.
I think it is best to think about where you are going to be using it, who you will be using it with the majority of the time i.e. family, children etc. and if you plan on staying on board overnight etc. There is a boat out there for everyone and for their purposes but I think you are asking the right people.. OSO is a great place to ask questions and find out from the people who actually use them, not just the sales people pushing them. Good luck! Thanks. As I alluded to earlier, I'm looking for turnkey and decent room for multiple people, and speeds of 70-79. |
