Lake Travis was 5 ft. lower this time last year down 54 ft from full pool. No good!

Back to topic, having a 91 Baja 260 that I purchased in 1996 and having 14 years, I loved the cockpit space of that boat. Even put marine air in it the last year I had it. So when we decided to upgrade 2 1/2 years ago, a 302 was at the top of the list. It all worked perfectly as I sold the 260 to a friend and found a 03 302 online that was the perfect colors. It even had a/c. Does have the windwhield but I was used to that and like it. Still need to tint it. Do like the 342 but wanted to stay around the 30 ft length.

I towed my 25 inside the enclosed parking at a condo in Orange beach(pheonix west) and had to do a 10 point turn to turn around at the top! Good thing no one parked up there!!

All you could hear were the squeaking of the tires coming around each corner!!��

I think I would like all 3.. 33 would top list (top or slightly over budget) depending on deal, would like 29, but 2ft itess may set in whereas 302 could satisfy cockpit..but I would always still want a 33 and like the outlaw looks!

Will depend on deal I find.. Have 29 deal and a 33 doable
nearby.. Will see, need to finalize my sale on mine first. Hopefully next week.. Then it's on!!!

I agree, they are all nice boats, at the end of the day, whatever you find the best deal on is going to be the best choice.
