well, i have been bouncing back and forth looking for somthing, i wanted a donzi 26 or 28, a baja 25 or 29 outlaw a 26 sutphen or a 25-28 eliminator. those where my main things.
the eliminator is out the 25 is to small not a good ocean boat and the 28 is to much coin.
very hard to find a 29 outlaw single screw.
it has to be single screw, if its a 28 it has to be the high HP single, i want a good boat, not beat up the more white the better, im not much for graphics, i dont want a modified boat, i want a stocker so i can make the modifications my own way.
right now im working on a deal on a 26 single screw sutphen.
im going to look at it this weekend, if it falls threw i will continue looking

High hp single is a good way to go.
You will have a hard time finding an older big single with low time that is a stocker. Most of them run mid 60's and therefore get modified.
It takes a good amount of power to extract speed from a non-step Baja.
You could get Donzi with a higher time 502 and freshen it to the equivalent of a 500 EFI. Dialed in right and you will see 70-72 and it will be strong. Then add boost and you will be in the 80's

Here is my old 1999 I installed a wake-up on the single 502 on a good day with some chop 79 GPS mph and handles like it was on rails.
I agree with ZXXX

You are not far off. It depends on the driver. I know some that say the scorps can do 81 and others that say it chine walks bad at 75. I would think that a good driver could get the mags to 70. I like the twins and they have their place. They just cost a bunch to get big numbers.
for instance, I think that the scorps are a cool boat and should be bullet proof. That being said, Bryan Rose has 10+ mph on a twin Scorp most days and he only has one engine. He can beat on it hard and it drives like it is on rails.

Nice looking setup. I wonder where that ended up. I always thought that a whipple would be a good addition to that setup.

I can't remember if it went all the way back or not, I sold the boat to a guy in Ohio. I sold it for 48K. The whipple / superchiller/ tuning was almost 12G's but worth every penny. She sounded sweet on the top.
