Well, I ended up buying a 98 Boss 302 with 454 mags in it. Full Hydraulic steering with the low white windscreen. Boat spent its life in the 1000 Islands. http://www.powerboatlistings.com/view/13417
Got it for considerably less and the boat is in real good shape. 3 tops with it too. Now just need to wait for Irish to see if the extended swim platforms will materialize.

Very nice compromise! Looks to be well equipped.

You'll like the extra cockpit room in the 302 over the 29 OL. Mainly just cosmetic differences. Good luck with her.

Congrats Kragar, looks sweet. Like the graphics. Any plans to do anything to it this winter?

It already has a smokin stereo in it. I really want to put an extended swimplatform on it. My 25 Outlaw one got used alot. Will drive it next summer and probably pull motors to freshen them up next winter as they have 400 hours now. Its stored close to home in a heated 40x60 shop along with 2 other boats, so a good wax and a few drinks drydock will be definate this winter.

Nice looking 302 :drink:

Sweet boat! Congrats. Thanks for keeping us updated.

If your waxing it this winter I have had great luck with presta super cut compount on a makita electric buffer, then collinite fleetwax (made especially for gel coat fiberglass). Wet sand first if needed.

Engines should last you another 400 hours if they have been taken care of, just keep changing that fluid, let them warm up and cool down, etc.

good looking boat. congrats on the purchase!

Never seen a mix of Faria and Gaffrig gauges before. Does it have electrical trim gauges in addition to mechanical indicators?

I need to replace a few of the guages. It appears someone tried cleaning with some sort of corrosive liquid as the 3 smaller guages on each side of speedo are hazed up like old headlights. I suspect the speedo was cjanged out. There are a few things I need to figure out. There is a dimmer style switch on the dash that I have no idea what it is. Also this is the first boat I have owned with Hyd steering and K-planes.
Boat still has the factory baja 25 Mirage props on it too.

You'll love the steering and K Planes. My old 29 Outlaw had a dimmer for the dash. I've never seen one on a 302.
