Ran sorry about that. I did miss read it my fault. As for the paint M.T, get some serios cash for a paint job from what im told. I know Strip Poker just had the 388 painted said it wasnt cheap but spot on to what he wanted.

Nauti we will see. I use to run with Remedy up here. But now he just jumps on with me, last weekend it was with his kids and him self. Good times great guy. Yes i designed the whole thing. Also once i get the engines back for the Cafe if its not to late that will go to paint also. Already have the scheme and had it drawn up. Just waiting right now on everything to come together,kind of feels like im in the stock market.

a bit OT
Mitcher T was the best person I have ever dealt with in the marine industry, I set my budget, & he told me up front what he could do for x amount, showed me a rendering & the boat was done on time as promised, I would definitely recommend him.

this was a 6k job

Did he paint the whole but or just what is show on the side. Also im not be a jack@ss promise but all you had done seems to be the side. I had my whole hull and deck resprayed and then had the air brush work done. The guy who did it only used card stencils everything else was donw by hand.
I do like it though great color chose it works well.

Go up 10k and the twins are a nice option in the 28ZX.

I have seen 26ZX's go in that range. Nice size cabin and a step hull. You can get some speed out of it now or really make it run later.

I did the 26ZX as a project boat. It is a screamer. I can run in snotty inland lake poker run water in the 80's without problem and bump low 100's in less disturbed water. Now I have a good bit more in the boat but you can do one that runs in the high 60's for his number. It has much more cabin than the Baja 25's. yeah, you can overnight in it.

top & sides were done, I realize this is not an intricate paint scheme, both nonetheless it was a great way to update an older boat

[QUOTEMitcher T Painted my whole boat for way less than 12K ,... it's a 31 Cat, & IMO looks kick ass, re read what I typed, I said your boat SEEMS like allot of boat for the money, so I guess you can't read or spell very well[/QUOTE]

I guess you can't read or spell that well, "allot" should be "a lot", don't bag on his grammar when you're screwing up, just saying.

Here is a 30 cat that should handle what you are after. Discount to OSO members by about 10%, so mid 30s

you da man

I will third (or fourth or whatever) the PP 28!

I was in the same situation last year, buying the first boat of my own. I ended up w/ a PP 28 after lots of looking.

Read the Powerplay thread on here to see the care that went into building them. I have one of the very few other single 28's and it is awesome. Very easy to drive, I basically never use my trim tabs actually and because it's not stepped turns predictably and easily. It also eats up the rough (as that is all there was last summer). You will want a bigger boat the first windy day if you go any smaller, and after maintaining a single I'm glad that's all I'm paying for (after really thinking I wanted twins before).

The other similar boats I liked were the Pantera and AT's. Sunsation and Donzi are nice too, but generally newer and not as affordable.
