Hey guys just starting to do my HW for a purchase in the next year or so. Had a fountain and would like another but see what else is out there and always liked forumlas this is what I am looking for below, my budget is going to be max 50 but would probably like to be closer to 40. so give me some ideas on models and age range, I would assume anything in the 90s probably fits not sure how new into the 2000s I can go, I know fountains I can probably find a 2001-2003 possibly

1. 28-30 ft
2. Twins, not looking for blue motors or blown stuff
3. need an anchor locker and would like an built in ladder
3. Cabin space or toilet doesn't matter to me really
4. Don't need a speed demon but something that hits 70

you should be in the price range of a 271-312. Late 90's - early 2K's. Shoulbe easily be in 67-70 mph teritory without going blue

This is probably a dumb question but what do you mean blue motor?

High performance mercury racing engines such as the hp500 (502ci 500hp) were painted blue. Referred to as blue engines.
