For me i had to rule out the 29' Fountain as its a "racing series" model with no cabin and while it is beautiful it is not what i want or need.
So i am hoping the rebuild on the 28' Velocity was a proper one and i will focus on that.
Just incase i did find two "newly" listed other options.....
A. 98, 25' Baja outlaw
B. 01, 26' power quest.
So we shall see what happens here.

Nate- I got to poke around in Bob's Heat mid cabin yesterday, and let me tell you, I was very impressed. Dont know if you have had the chance to get in a Heat or not, but I was thinking it was going to be a "sports boat" interior... its actually quite comfy to me. Good luck either way with anything you choose, and I am sure all the higher end boats have a decent interior as well. I am stuck on the Heat for sure and will be striving for that goal.

I just dont want to get one and get it into the gulf on a choppy day and have regrets is my biggest thing as they seem to be more lake boats.
As far as style and design though...hands down what i want.

I had a 99 Heat, its actually newly for sale in the classifieds. I agree 100% with Indy's comments on the Heat. My particular boat did not suit my type of boating in Lake Michigan. I will tell you I had more compliments on that boat than any other boats I have owned. If I were you I'd take a peak at 288 Sunsation, very similiar in alot of ways to the Nordic, but a better ride in the big water.

The carpet in the engine compartment really turned me off to them. Plus it did not have the room back there vs the Sunsation. I do my own work so that was of importance. Overall I liked the lines, just a few too many head scracther items that I felt did not justify the lines of the boat.
