Baja Man - Yes I am purchasing Irish Tornado. Put a deposit on it and delivery will be late April-early May 13'. Sold mine too late in the season and by the time i worked something out it was basically too late to water test. My wife and I are excited for the 13' boating season for sure!

I tow my 33 with an F-350 srw.The bad thing about the Expedition is the short wheelbase.It would tow it down the road but the braking and handling would be quite scary with all that weight.

98+ 29/302 or 33(jury still out) Mag mpi's Swim plat Wind screen Cockpit space! 29 is only a lil larger but has anchor locker! (Hate pulling up to beach/spot and moving everyone to get under hatch or back seat) other than some room to put some coolers on floor, my 25 isn't that bad Want to have better ride in rough. 29 is 4ft to bridge waves.. 33 would be great, but again other issues present. |

That's where I am stuck... Your 29. (Did hear it sat for 4 years??) or a deal on a 33 in what I want to spend may have unseen issues! Moreno b/c of cockpit space and head. Like 302 as compromise but even harder to find wih mags, wind screen and platform!
I picked up a 47 Lightning that sat for three year, changed fluids, impellors and ran it for a year and put 110 hours on it. I would want to run the 29 before you came up and checked it out. |

Heck it's sat for almost 13 years with less than 200 hours on it! :lolhit: The last four years he hasn't used the boat. It was winterized by a marina before it was stored. It's always been in climate controlled inside storage too.

It was mid Nov when I got my 25 from Chicago in the 40's and the marina had 6 ft swells in the inlet!! That was nuts, but the way it landed when Greg launched it a few times was worth it!! |

It's 72 today, but it's not going to last. I'll make sure it's 100% before you head this way. I'm a boater too, I know what's it's like to buy a boat and have a bunch of problems with it. Wouldn't wish that upon anyone. With the low hours I'm guessing impellors, fluids, filters and worse case possible gas drain/flush.

Man get a real truck then get the 33. The Exp will NOT last. A freind just got a 272 and lost the trannie on the 4th time out. Lives like 10 miles from launch.
