Need help buying a boat!!!!
Hey guys I am thinking about buyingy first boat and wanted some opinions. I am looking for a 22' or bigger speed boat with a cuddy. I really like the Bajas and Scarabs. I have found several but any help would be appreciated. If u have one for sale let me know. Thanks alot everbody. I don't want to spend more than about 20k for it either. Give me some opinions.

Better talk with your wife, she says you want a cruiser.

The 23 Wellcraft Eclipse is a good all-around boat with a decent cabin for its size, enclosed head, room to sleep, sink, etc, economical, can pull a tube, has enough room to relax on it... If you want something faster you can get into a Nova that has less of a cabin, or a 22' Scarab or Baja that has little to no cabin at all.
If you don't mind going a little bit older the 21-24'Liberators are nice boats, handle rough water well, pretty fast if you get the single big block or twin small blocks, and have decent cabins in them.

Might look at a 232 Rinker. They have a huge cockpit and a useful cuddy.
