I've seen PB (Paul)'s boat...it's really sharp!

Obnoxus' storage is in New Lenox, just south of Rte. 30 and Gougar Road.

You could also try Old Plank Road Marina at LaGrange and Nebraska St. in Frankfort...they have indoor & outdoor storage.

Did you talk to Mark Miller at Grand Sports Center? They always have a good inventory of used performance boats and may know of something comming in that could meet your needs.

The seller selling his 90 Baja 250ES in Elmhurst took his off the market due to family issues. I am hoping he will change his mind.

I am looking at 4 boats now in Iowa,Wisconsin, Ohio, and Michigan. It figures they are all over 2.5hrs away.

I looked at a P.O.S. in DesPlaines this weekend, that thing was run hard and put away soaking wet.

I looked into some winter storage options and I may keep the boat outside at my wife's stepfather's farm in Pontiac? I would prefer indoors however. Finding boating season storage near TP would be a benefit.

PB more info please I am replying to your email.
Where in wisconsin, I'm in the milw area, if it's close by I can pre qualify it for you

Here is a list of Baja's for sale. Lots to look at. If you can swing the size look at the older 280's. Great boat for lake Michigan and you can get them at good prices.

I have not been on the Grand Sport website lately...

Jim K from GSC should have contacted me about this. I have been talking with him since last December when we were finally in a position to get a new toy. I had an 86 Mint 25k mi Vette, kept that until the first kid came along, then I had a restored 69 SS396 Chevelle. So now we are into a boat. Last December we met Jim and looked at an 06 23 Outlaw. We also looked at the 257 PQ Legend which I understand is now sold.

I will have to look at GSC website.

I am going Thursday to look at a 92 Wellcraft Nova Spyder. I know, I know this is not a "powerboat" doing only 60-62, but realistically with 2 kids on board, one 2.5yo and the other 6 weeks, when am I going to open it up? That hull though will take some good 2-3's.
