The cleanest 27 single you will find is for sale in Henderson, KY. (not mine). It's more than your budget, but it looks like new - inside and out.

Thanks alot

another consideration is how much of the work on your boat you do yourself and
how much of a pain it is to work on a twin engine boat. Since your on a budget like me you probably do your own work so find a twin engine one and see if you would like to work on it yourself. |
Given your situation, I'd go with the 27. or if you can find a single 29 - with good power - that would be better.
No need for twins. especially in this size range. |
Alot depends on the type of boating you are going to be doing. I have a 27 with a single 502. I had to be dragged in twice last summer (impeller, and fuel pump belt). When I bought the boat I had aspirations of taking weekend trips to the islands but after last summer I'm not getting to far from civilization. This is my first performance boat and maintenance was why I went with a single. I wish I would have gotten twins for what I wanted to do.

I have a 27 newer with a single. It's been great. I use it on a fresh water lake (not great lake). I would not buy a 20k performance boat unless I could work on it myself. If you change the impeller every 3 years you don't usually have problems with those. Even if you have twins and one goes down you are not going to be able to plane the boat with one engine.
