There are a couple Fastech 353s around that price range. Wont be an 80mph boat, but about 70 I would think with twin 496s. I am leaning towards a 353 for my family and overnighting purposes.

Don't think you can go wrong with a 353 fastech. It won't be the fastest hull on the water, but has a lot of really nice creature features for overnighting.

That was our thinking with the Sonic when we got it. There is always someone faster so get a great all around boat. Formula makes a great product with very nice fit and finish.

Great buy but doesn't look too nice for an over night with the fam.

Not sure I would go as low as 50k, but I'll entertain all offers!

I understand 50 is the budget but have a lead on a boat 60 buys it 36 Apache with speedy runs 92 clean

A lot of boat for the $$$ IMO. PQ are a great overnighting/weekender boat. Looked hard at them prior to the Black Thunders. GLWTS

nice boat. seems to meet most of the OP specs. except the speed, but looks like one of the best boats on the market in the $50's

Scarab AVS 33 as mentioned IF the cabin will cut it for you. I just bought a clean 1999 w 143 hrs for close to 50,000, runs 80 ish with hp 500 efis. Trailerable, can still get it in inland lake launches. Cockpit is slightly smaller than my 272, cabin is 50% bigger, has same size bed but much more storage and longer couches a kid could sleep on, still kinda tight dpends on your tolerance level. I hear they run high 70s with 502 mags even, Im expecting 82 or so when I test some 30 pitch props Sunday, have saw 78 on gps on rev limiter w 28's, fwiw, Smitty
