Baja still offers what?

Any custom builder will place whatever power you order. Good luck.

Formula 292 is the only current one I can think of. You have to buy used though they are on crack with what the want for new ones.

G-NOTE, deep down in your soul, you really want a 28 Donzi ZX or a 29 Fastech with twin 6.2's.
The 6.2 [377cu] would be my choice over the 350 Mags. Find one with Scorpions would even be better.There was a 28 Donzi with Scorpions in the classifieds not long ago, in your price range.My boat without steps does 76 mph with twin 6.2 black engines [ 640 prop HP ] .Adding Whipples to either boats you'd be in the high 70's low 80's . Wish I had your pain choosing what boat to get,lol.

See if this one negotiable for an even lower price.http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o41131-en.html

This one has room to grow later to upgrade with a couple of 425HP 383's.

Yeah 6.2's are smallblocks, that is what I was thinking. They have gones up on the donzi's. A year ago scorpions were priced alot less.

As far as looking for a boat goes, my original budget got cut in half after selling my baja because of a custody battle for my oldest daughter, but it was worth every pennie!!!

DEFINATELY not looking at NEW!

Captain YARRR 06-05-2012 08:19 AM

Go buy a Sunsation Dominator, they come with 6.2s. :) I love mine!

I read post #1 where used was NOT mentioned, and skipped post #5 where it was, sorry for the oversight. Mistakes happen.

88242LS 06-05-2012 04:46 PM

There are even some Formula 312's with 6.2's available, not a great resale boat but I bet its a nicer package then most think, so buy one cheap now less to lose

Waveform 06-05-2012 05:00 PM

Buy a hull without power, then you can put in whatever you want!

There are only 2 or 3 28 AT's with SBC's. The rest are singles.

A few weeks ago there were several around...after a quick look in my usual places, looks like they cleared out over Memorial weekend. Dang. You are right.

Goes to show ya how nice these are :)

Expensive Date 06-05-2012 06:18 PM

That 28 Donzi with the blue 377s is a sweet combo.

Dave M 06-05-2012 07:20 PM

Superboat will build a Y2K w/SBCs. As far as I now there was only 1 though. It was FS on OSO a while ago. I think it ran around 80 with stock motors.

Uncle Dave 06-05-2012 07:24 PM

LaveyCraft will do it in a variety of boat sizes.

Thought so, that would be a nice boat!

Stormrider 06-06-2012 07:49 AM

Contact board member 'Austin'.
He has a 28 pantera w/ twin sbc.
He was trying to sell it a yr to 2 back and couldn't.
Try him, he may be willing to part w/ it.

I was looking at the 31 ss and the walk around really shrinks down the boat. might make the 28 seem even smaller I think

Stormrider 06-07-2012 02:58 PM

here is a rare one...
