You were on the right track when you considered Hallett, but stopped short. Look at their new 260AC (stands for Art Carlson). Its a very large open bow, has sponsons like a cat, insures live a V and got a great write up in Powerboat. Check their website and see if this new model is there. If not, call (626) 989-8844 and ask for the brochure on it. I've driven it often and its a great family boat...

a 25' Active Thunder capable of 80mph with stock HP Doesn't matter if you are on a rough lake or the ocean, 500, (no superchargers), and still sleeps two is the only way to go.

Love the solid feel of this boat and the great classic offshore ride!!!

I'm in the same position, I've owned 4 Baja's, and live in north TX, I looked at the warlocks before, the beam is to narrow, I'm leaning toword a 27-29 Fountain or a Nordic 28

Hey guys, I originated this post. I have not responded back in a while. I was leaning towards a Warlock, but ended up purchasing a low hour 2002 '28 Nordic Heat. The boat fits me perfect. Looks, room, ride. I looked at quite a few boats before buying this and I am very happy with my purchase.

Thanks Mike,
I have not taken any pictures of it yet. I know I need to dish out the $19, just lazy up till this point. I bought the thing fairly close to you, Sarasota. As for the engine, I have a 496HO. I dont know GPS, but Speedo, with 1/2 fuel, me, wife I have done 74. How that translates in GPS, your guess is as good as mine.
I will upgrade the membership and post pictures soon.
I just had to buy a new tow vehicle. I had a Hummer H2 and thought the thing would tow fine, but what a DOG, especially when you get into some hills. I just bought a new Dodge with a Cummins HO. Overkill I know, but maybe when I decide to get a bigger boat, I will not have to buy another truck.
