My sons Baja 272 (502 Mag) has provided plenty of excitement and reliability over several hundred miles of 65mph offshore running in the Pacific.

PS: Yes ..... it's a BAJA :evilb:

I was going to suggest a 29' fountain til you said rough water :drink: JK- those poor Fountain guys get no respect:)

Seeing as people are naming 28' boats- my Pantera is in the classifieds :cool:

My 25 Outlaw just loves rough water, has a deep cockpit that makes you feel like your in a bigger boat and one of the cleanest cabin designs I´ve seen anywhere. With its Merc racing HP 525 and Imco extension box, it does 81 GPS mph. I´ve done five Poker runs and two Liquid Quarter Mile events with it and got two hundred hours on it and it is rock solid.
I´m really happy with it.

New? I'd look into the new Donzi ZR or a Sutphen.
Not sure there's any cuddy in a Krypto, but they're fast.
If you're just testing the waters, a Baja Outlaw is a pretty solid boat, and they seem to be easy to resell when you're ready to step-up.
Good luck! D911

27/29 kryptonite has a nice cuddy option. fit and finish are excellent..the boat has a stepped bottom.
