I got approved at Wachovia bank today for $70,000 Good thing I didnt let all of the negitive comments bring me down, huh?[/QUOTE]
I thought that seemed extremely generous (and unrealistic) of the bank to lend that much on a 2003 Baja 302. I then went on NADA's site and priced a 302 and my 342. Seems values have recently gone up a lot. Anyone else checked this with their boats? If nothing else it'll help a buyer get financed when it's time to sell.

I deffiently want the 500 efi's. The 496's are great motors but I would end up buying the performance SS exhaust and other mods to get more power. (I cant leave stuff alone) the 500's come with it all and with head mods, tuning and a little more cam I can put them around 550 hp.

Seems strange? 650 hp in a 28' boat should at least be running 80-85.
My 25 Checkmate Convinsor ran 78-79 with a 425 hp 502,.. 225 more hp should at the least push another 3 feet of boat that fast?

Yes, i do like the 28's. I do have a question though? Why with 650 hp are some only getting 72-75 mph but the Carrabas race boat with a 500 efi running 75? Weight maybe?

I think we tyed the same thing, yours is more to the point
Here is the proof of what a 28 can handle at speed

If I was looking at the 33' range i would look hard for a 33' Powerplay, with 525's you'll be about mid eighties -- no 70 mph cruise -- maybe 60-65 -- depending on what you call cruising rpm. I refer to cruiseing @ 32-3500 rpm.
I t will be a litlle older -- 2000-2004 -- but will outlast any baja type boat.( no offense to anyone). It would fit your budget, as long as the bank doesn't throw a flag on the age.
Now if you are the type that only goes out when it's 1-2 ft rollers then any of the boats that have been mentioned could 'work'. As mentioned though careful of a 90 mph boat with bravo 1's, -- they are not a match...
