So how is the search going???


mb.

Search is still going. Heading to MI next weekend with my wife to look at a 302 Baja. I have seen the boat but she has not been in a 302 yet...only 312's. Very nice boat with tons of options/accessories. If that doesnt work out, we will be headed to MN to look at a 03 312 Fastech with 496 HO's but at this point that probably will not be till January. Would like to nail something down before spring with a deposit, but gotta be right boat and right deal financially. May even throw a wildcard in there and look at a 33ZX Donzi or 31 Sonic too....both have HP500EFI's. We will see how next weekend goes......

If i was gonna consider another brand it would have been a Donzi 33 ZX all the amenities and speed, still think you should have been to Minn already thou LOL

Love a 33ZX...but 9500 lbs!! Just a lot of boat to be trailering around lake to lake and that's the type of boating we do in the finger lakes and Lake Ontario. Wish that 312 with HO's was closer to NY....that's the biggest reason I have not made the trip there yet. Over 1000 miles away.

As much traveling as you have done you could have been there and back with it home LOL 1 stop shopping If only so easy right

There is a 42 fountain in buffalo on a trailer , in storage , new trailer , new paint staggerd hp 500 steeped hul , the boat is complete needs put guages back in and the seats etc . nothing to do with motors or drives . he wants $ 50000.00 . It was rays on the island old boat
if you need info IM 88242ls knows the boat

42 fountain sounds like a lot of boat for the money, but way to big for the finger lakes I boat on and too big for where I store it. I am have a hard time parting with money and this is a lot of money for a toy used 4-5 months max a year where we live. Just trying to be totally happy and get everything I want...so we are being very picky.

Getting really close though to a decision!!!

Why not a 29fast tec?? or is that not enough of a step up from the baja 272.

Just curious

292 is a step-up from a 272 yes, but given cost of a 292 I can go to a 312 Fastech or 302 Baja for around the same $$. I would rather have the extra room in cockpit and cabin and skip over a 292. Not a huge fan of twin small blocks for whatever reason, would rather have 496 HO's or HP500EFI's and have a boat that will run mid 70's or more.

Most of the 292's I like are newer than the 312's or 302's....but basically same hours and in many cases same money or even more.
