Looking to buy Baja Islander 23+
I am looking to purchase a Baja Islander, at least 23'. I am looking to spend around 20K. I almost bought a 1997 232(240hrs) for $18500 and it was sold right from under me. I have also seen a 1994 272(550hrs) for $17000. I'm a little scared of the 1994 and the amount of hours. I'm looking for a open bow able to carry around 8 people. I am open to 232/242/247/252/272. Are there certain years that are problematic? I have heard some of the older Bajas have stringer issues. I'm not a huge fan of the pink and purple Baja is "famous" for I am from Cincinnati, so the inventory around here is very minimal. I am willing to drive to pick up for the right boat. Any suggestions of boats that match what I am looking for, please let me know. Thank you

Dated graphics can be covered with a wrap, so don't let that scare you aware from a purchase. Be concerned with maintenance and upkeep. There are many Bajas made in your preferred size, you will find one eventually.
