You may want to look for a used Velocity 260. Without the platform it is 24 foot. Good size cabit, for 24 ft and a deep cockpit.

There are alot of great boats out there in that size range. A bunch of them have been already mentioned. A Pantera is the first boat that comes to my mind when the rough is mentioned.

Go Banana's

I own a 1989 24' Banana.

Beamier then a 24' Pantera and goes like hell...

Hard to find in Miami though...

Good luck with your search.

If you want to step up, a pal of mine in Fort Lauderdale is contemplating selling his 27 foot Baja.

Think he wants under 20k.

I know 2 24s that will outrun the Superboat with LESS POWER, especially in rough water, BatBoat and Skater. Nonetheless I agree 24 Superboat or Pantera would make a great choice. Just trying to keep the performance claims in perspective. I vote for Pantera since they are local and make a great boat.

Ya know, as soon as I hit the enter key I knew somebody was going to chime in about a Skater or a Bat Boat. OK, you have a point there, but I am assuming this guy is looking for more of a "pleasure v-hull" . Can he find a Skater or Bat Boat for under 25K? How pleasure orientated is a Bat Boat? I don't know what JJH's experience level is but a 100 MPH Skater in the hands of a less experienced boater can be trouble.

You might also look at 242 and 272 Formulas. They are very well made boats. Maybe not as fast because they are heavy, but the construction is second to none. You should be able to find quite a few of them in your price range.
