Going to throw the 4-letter word around here. Baja 25 Outlaw...dollar for dollar bang for the buck... Ride it hard, put it up wet or baby it and keep it clean. Either way mid upper 60's/70 mph boat, easy to trailer with a 1/2 ton, deep V, ton of fun and most all are turn key with stock power and can be picked up in the 30K range. Many rag on them still to this day but most of us cut our teeth on them before moving onto bigger and badder. Just my .02. Good luck in your search!

My first boat was a 25' active Thunder.
Second one was a 33 Baja outlaw (this one was the least amount of issues)
Then I screwed up and bought a Cig with big power . That was a super expensive lesson I`d rather forget , but we did have great times on that boat .. my kids grew up on it . lots of family memories . Mostly of me in the bilge.

I’m sure this is the boat he’s referring to.
Look at this awesome Cigarette I found on BoatTrader! https://boattrader.app.link/xioRN71I1Pb?mt=8

I guess it all comes down to expectations…for 50k I guess it’s a good deal? But TRS is kind of a deal breaker. Atleast for me. I’m also not a fan of motors that aren’t factory mercury racing (I.e. most of the blue motors). I’m sure I’ll get hate over it. But I always joke that it’s resale blue. Instead of resale red.
