my parents 260 overnighter had a 454mag/bravo with 1400 hours and still ran great.

I have 350 ish on my baja and not worried.

Open bow or cuddy? I have a 1997 252 that I'm thinking of moving. It has a slightly tuned 454 with somewhere around 300 hours, an honest 62 in good conditions, high 50's any day. Boat's in great shape.

We're really looking for something w a cuddy.

you give up on the 24Outlaws or what? mines still for sale - gaining hours every weekend...lol. (think it just flipped 300) its got your cuddy and performance - makes everyone happy. you should come down, bring the wife, and at least look at her and take a ride before you pull the trigger on something.

mines a 252 boss, with under 400 hours, runs 60 with either prop.

PM if you looking.

Why not step up to a 27 boss, you'll leave 90% of everyone behind you in your wake and it only has 50 hrs on her, with 730 hp. plus it has a nice cabin.

Will, We haven't forgotten about your boat. My wife just has a little different price range than me. She wants to try to stay under 20k if possible. I'm really ready to get into something though.

Keep looking you'll find something in your price range, this is a crazy market, lots of to good to be true deals.......
