well so far all the researching i have been doing i think i am going to try for a charlie build banana 24 first. due for the 8' beam, and not being underpowered with a single 250. if not the search will continue.
Thank you for the help i will keep you updated.

please dont let this thread end, im sure it will be helpful to someone else down the road. the more info the better

so i just remembered another boat that i loved as a kid. it was a 24 scorpion with twin Johnson 350s with dry exhausts. boat was so fast and would blow by the 24 monzas. handled the seas like no other. the owner actually had a monza also called legal weapon. well a year or two after i rode on the scorpion, he was busted for running drugs and the boat sat at the CG dock in St. Thomas for a month or so. got to look at it everyday before and after school. then one day it was gone.. . probably destroyed.
i cant find too much info on them

Sounds like this boat fits your needs to the T.

25 Chief with single 300 promax. http://maryland.freeboatshopper.com/...p-pro-max.html
Not sure what the scoop is on the "chief" name. Make sure its a saccenti boat. Eric Froberg here on OSO would know.

what about these:
28 carrea with twin 300xs
27 magnum with twin yamaha vmax 2.5s

thanks

Looks like a great deal right there..

Shhhhh

The green and white boat that was docked by the coast guard dock was a condor.

A boat for you to really consider is the 25 powerplay. There was one in miami that looked like a good deal....it was somewhere around 15k.

really? i remember Morgan Avery saying it was a scorpion.
