I've always had good luck with them... For me they are easier to work on and more efficient... I'm going over 100mph with 2 stock v6s....

That Pantera looks sweet! If I were in the market I would definitely check it out.
BTW where are you located? There has been some smokin deals in the Atlanta market lately.

I'm in Austin TX. That's another thing that I have to work out. I have no idea how I would go about buying a boat from another state.

A 22 Donzi classic is not a bad option.

I payed 6k for my mint 90 Scarab 21. Love this thing... You should be able to find a newer one well within your budget. This hull handles Great Lakes chop with ease, and it just flies across the inland lakes.

You can get a nice 253 Checkmate for under 20k.

Sunsation Rockets or Aggressors would fit your criteria. Same boat with different decks essentially. Just under 25ft and they have a cabin.

Here's a 1993 with low hours looking for $17995 and is probably negotiable.
