Bang for your buck! Here is one a little larger than your size range, but well within your price range. Just depends upon what kind of amenities you are looking for.

I think if your after a fast boat Eliminator is the best bang for the buck. You get great gel coat, a finished interior and they are fast. Plus my 27 seats 6 people like a big v without the need for twins. You do miss out on a cuddy.

Bang for the buck. I think we all can all agree that a fountain would fit that definition. I would look into a 35 fountain with twin 496's. You can buy a new one for 160 or a couple year old used one for 110.

Best bang for the buck: Superboat Y2K. Yes, I am bias too, but I was in your same shoes looking two years ago. Bought the SB and could not be happier - I run with the big boys and in stuff they sometimes don't want to run in, all at three times the fuel economy. Still loving it two years in.....
