My Dad downsized this season from a 30 formula to a 2000 24' outlaw. He said he's just getting to old to handle a bigger boat (banging off docks 
) but will never have a cruiser lol. Anyway, I have went out with him several times this season trying props and I drove it quite a bit. I was actually surprised how well it handles, very predictable and can hold its own when things get a little rougher. His has the 502 and runs about 68-70 with 3 blade and 64-66 4 blade and planes much better. Bolsters are a must in my book so that narrowed it down for him also. It's pretty much a proven hull that's been around for some time now, Hope this helps you out, good luck!

If you willing to stretch your budget by about $5k, I have a 2003 Velocity 260 w/496 mag for sale. (Not knocking Baja, but Velocity Boats are built and designed much better) Starts every time, gets good fuel economy and can run upwards of 74 GPS. It has a 2 year old interior, runs like a champ and needs nothing. Also comes on an aluminum trailer.. If interested PM and I will forward more info and pics.
I'll vouch for this boat, it's clean!

No boday has asked.
Where are you going to boat? How many people do you want to take with you? Do you plan to over night on it? What do you have to pull it with?
Here is a nice one...

Lake missinawa in Peru Indiana it not really big and not very choppy I have a 06 dodge 1500 4x4 lifted tires its big enough to pull what I need it for as for staying out on the boat not very often and may four to six people plus I have my first baby on way is the main reason for my spending limit
