Looking for boat ideas
 
I want to get back into boating after a few years of being away and I'm looking at early 2000s Fountains, Formulas, Scarabs and Bajas around 29-31', is there anything else I should be looking at? Something with a reputation for being well built and comfortable enough to spend the night on the water. Looking to spend $50k. Thanks in advance

Lakeglider,

Don't overlook the PowerQuests. Very well built boats that run very well. We love our 280 and it sleeps two comfortable enough for an overnighter. There are a few around. Contact Neal at PQ. He told me he's been brokering a few.

Thanks. Brad.

Thanks. Anything specific to look for in those?

The 28 and 29 Velocities have deep cockpits and decent size cabins.

If looking at Fountains have the transom and stringers checked. If the tailpipes come through the transom with beauty rings, its highly likely the transom is wet.
