Where are the best places to go boat shopping around LOTO for a 24 to 30 ft performance boat?

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

Lots of different place, tons of dealers here just depends on what brand/type of boat your looking for. I live here so let me know if I can help more, my 31' Formula FasTech is available on a trailer.

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

I'd love to be able to buy your boat, but unfortunately, I'm looking for something a little cheaper...like a Baja or ???

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

Buy mine and I deliver it.
Kinda little the home shopping network.

Cowgirl....

24 to 30 is a pretty big size range. (Even though it's only a difference of six feet.)

24 you are probably looking at a single high HP power, while by the time you get to 30 (most) boats will have twins.

I realize that there are some light 29s with huge singles, but you know what I mean.

I would make a decision between single and twin and then go from there... and speed isn't always increased with that additional engine and drive. I have twin small blocks in a 26, and many 24s with big singles can blow me away.

What's your price range? I'm needing to get rid of my boat so it's neg, but I know of a lot of others as well.

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

I'm looking for a single engine boat. Right now I have a Carver with twin engines. I love twin engines, but for now I think a single engine is the best way for me to go. A little less maintenance I have to worry about. I'm HOPING for my first performance boat of staying in the low $30's. I'll be happy with a 24 foot boat, but I'm keeping my options open.

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

You should be able to pick up a 96 or so Fountain 27 for that range. I sold my 95 boat 2 years ago for $37K and it was very nice. Took it to Raymonds to broker it and it was gone in a week. There are a ton of brokers and shops here so you just need to start the hunt.

Cowgirl, Tantrums Active is nice....may want to take a look!! :eureka:

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

There are a lot of nice boats for that kind of money. It's a buyer's market.

You should have a lot of options.

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

OSO Classifieds or Traderonline site (LOTO area). 1996-1998 Baja 24 Outlaw should be in the price range that you are looking for.

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

I have an 1989 Baja 250 Sport (26'9") with a fresh 509 cu.in. (A Class Motor), 10K Paint Job,New XR Drive, Full Hyd.

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the help.

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

Julie you could buy mine and out run all the Bajas at Perry. :D

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

LOL!

Are you really selling your boat?

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

Next year I am still finishing it.

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

I'm really hoping to find a boat this year before lake season is over, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. I've been emailing a friend boats as I find them. So far he's done a good job at keeping me in line and not buying the first boat that comes a long!

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

Good. Too many good boats right now. Be patient. You will thank yourself when you use the boat and when you try to sell it.

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

I AGREE!!!!

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

Cool! I'll call them and see what I can find out about this boat! THANKS!!!!

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

Thanks for the link!

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

Can you buy my boat, please???? It comes with 1yr warranties and is really nice for 30k.........

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

I like your boat, BUT I've had two boats with twin engines and even though they are awesome to drive, it's still double the maintenance and twice the amount of gas. So this round I'm looking for a single engine boat. If I hear of anyone else looking for a twin engine boat I'll tell them about yours.

Re: Help.....boat shopping

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

Thanks IceAngel! I do have someone looking for me that I'm certain can find a needle in a haystack, so I'm going to hold off and see between the two of us what we can come up with. I did keep your number though! Thanks again!

Re: Help.....boat shopping
 

Are you accusing my sweet little Sean of frequenting strip clubs? I don't believe it that is purely proposterous!!! :rolleyes: :eek: :eek: :rolleyes: Didn't you get the memo? Sean is now a boring husband and father LMAO!


Just keep the number and whatever he and I can do to help we are more than happy to.
