I bought a Chris Craft 260 Stinger this year that needs alot of restoring, but it's the only way for me to go bigger next time. Buy a boat that you love and deal with what it brings.

I like the idea of getting a 25' single for that price with a healthy big-block. At that price, you'll have to look for a Baja Outlaw or Checkmate Convincor or something like that, but you could still get out in some semi-rough water and work on your driving skills on a buck and have a blast. JMO

Ok I guess I did forget to put the smiley at the end of my last reply, But I thought it was obvious that I was being sarcastic..

I live in holland, MI. I really appreciate all the boats that you all have sent me. I am probably about 3 weeks from buying another, or less if I find a great deal that I can't pass up

I need a cabin. I have two little ones that need naps

I really like 28 cig's would love a cafe but that will be hard to find. still open to cats

My first Poker run was to Holland Mi. from Benton Harbor. Pier 33/Thunder Marine run in 1994,
The Infinity 26' that made the run is for sale. Still. lol
You have to add your own graphics. It was recently painted to all white. Has a cuddy, and a porta pottie. 454 Merc. mag, Bravo 1, and everything you want, but it is a 1994. Had it since new. I figured you might want something newer, but the boat needs nothing but fuel.
And for $9k. You have a lot left for fuel.
