I am interested in a Baja24-29 for this reason. Financially I would not even be able to consider any of the "big dogs" but with a solid plan I can have the cash to buy a used Baja by this time next year. They are sharp looking boats, and I do not plan on running in any major heavy seas. For me it will be cruising up and down the gulf and tampa bay.
just my $.02

Are you saying that a Baja look's like a woman that has had two kid's??
I already said I like Baja's, it's just not my choice for how I like to boat.

Not saying anything, just using that as an example.

Something to get you started on the water (or maybe you have experience (?)), relatively inexpensive, and a chance to learn for a few years about what you like and don't like about the boat. You'll still look good docking up at the restaurant and impress your friends (if that's your thing). Baja was a good entry level for me. It taught me alot.
I don't have the scratch to run with the big dog's either, but I know I know what I can afford, and I'm holding out for the type of boat I like to run. In the meantime I'll just keep mooching rides...
It's a good boat, it's just not what I'm after next time around

My old neighbors recently sold their 32 Baja that they owned since 1985. My Dad had just sold our Silverline 19' cuddy and I was trying to talk him into either a Baja or Donzi 22 classic and he saw the Whaler and bought it!!!! I took over the Whaler but secretly wished it was at least the Baja.........

And the 5s to 8s is what the national weather service was calling them yesterday ... I didnt see them so I cant confer ... but Im guessin they would know
