speed is not the number 1 issue
cabin is important (able to stand)
gas: triple scares me a bit

on the other hand, would'nt a twin 500 at 45-50 mph, burn as much as a triple at the same speed?

I heard about 40 baja cracked on the bulkhead for unknown reason... true or false?

what is your opinion ?

thanks!

Is the Baja really an option? NO comparison to a Sonic..

if speed is not #1 cabin height #2 and trips out for gas you need a 370ss or 400ss you can pack a lot of body's on em also imo

If you want to be able to stand in the cabin I don't think that I would consider the Baja. I would, however, look at the 38' Donzi's. They are a nice all around boat, with nice cabins.

I looked at one but the U-shape seat in the cabin is too small to sleep there. I need 5 places to sleep... It's too bad because they do have a high cabin!

Nothing is perfect... got to see a 38 or 42 sonic... I don't know why but I feel like it should fit...

Nortec 39 V will give you speed and a big cabin. Not cheap but a perfect boat.
