+1 on the small single engine and newer boat . If you want to enjoy it more and work on it less. I've been there if you don't want to be working on it all the time it gets old . I like velocity the smaller ones are fast with stock power and it's a family business . I would give them a call they might have a good trade in .

Hey guys! Got an old man boat for a few years but the gofast bug is still eating away at me. Found a 92 25' Baja outlaw bbc bravo original owner boat for 15k. Thinking of doing something stupid and fireselling the the luhrs and picking this thing up. What I'm reading is the bajas aren't good but not bad either as far as build quality. Again any input is appreciated.
12-15k budget small enough for parker big enough for catalina

Have the transom and stringers been inspected? Hours on the engine and drive? Condition of the trailer? Your "bargain" at $15k could be a nightmare if the boat does not check out.

Going by the pics and description, it looks like a deal and if I could only offload my current boat, that's exactly the sort of thing I'd be looking for. Great pedigree, simple, stock engine/drive combination and looks to be in good condition. Even the trailer is a low maintenance aluminum job!

600Hrs per the add. I'm out of town till about the 20th. If it's still available I might grab my most knowledgeable boat buddy and check it out.
looks like he pulled the motor out of the power play. Might of been a contender.

Could you guys help a newb out an fill me in on the pp pedigree. Googling powerplay boats isn't bringing up much.
The 502 bravo combo sounds exciting.
Are the cuddy cabins on both pretty useless? Can't find any info on what's in the forward berth of either.
