These are fantastic boats,
I had a 98 powerquest enticer 290FX, it was totally reliable and had great power just a beautiful easy to trailer and easy to maneuver boat. I wanted to upgrade to the 38 PQ, but ended up with a 38 scorpion instead.

1998 29 FX with 454s was my first boat, and the one I gave the name which is my handle here on OSO. Great turn-key boat. TONS of room in the cabin for a boat that size...plus mine had a microwave and a fridge...it was a terrific weekend boat and an excellent choice for us as our first boat.
Downsides: VERY tight engine compartment. Replacing an impeller was NOT a fun task by any means! Rough-water ride left something to be desired...but that also could have been a function of it being a smaller boat (really only 26-27 feet of running surface due to swim platform) AND the fact that I didn't really know how to drive, lol. She also liked to chine-walk when pushed to her limits...usually around 70 mph on speedo (not GPS).
