Here's my 35 Sonic for sale. A little over $50K, but a lot of boat for the money. I have a hatch a/c unit i'd give you if you bought it.

If you like Bajas there is a 95 32 ft Caliber for sale. It is currently owned by a member here. (Liquid Asset). I promise you it is flawless!! It has a hugh cabin and a ton of cock pit space. I have been on the boat several times. It has twin 502's and Bravo 1's. You can check it out at this web site.www.dallasboats4sale.com. I believe it is priced in your range.

Nice looking boat!...but $25K over my $50K budget is more than "a little."
I guess it's all relative when your talking about money and boats.

What engine package is in your 242. Is it listed anywhere? A friend of mine is after a formula and I think yours is one of the best color schemes they made. He got the bug bad because 2 weeks ago I bought a 98 312 with 502's (no air, but you can add one) for 50K!!!!!

Wow that sounds like a good buy...

My boat has the 454 magnum...new bravo outdrive in 2002. Two props, a 21 pitch mirage and 22 pitch Bravo I. I like the Bravo I prop the best...good cruise speed (around 40mph)and better acceleration than the mirage prop.

Here is a link with pictures:

Add says $17K but would take $15K.

boat was surveyed approx 2 months ago for insurance and came in in the high 50's not including the trailer. Boat is loaded k-planes, indicators, zero effort controls, cd player, drop out bolsters, 23 p mirage stainless props, fresh water flush. first 150 hours of use were fresh water. has one season of salt water use flushed after every use religiously and runs a legit 68+++ and is great on fuel

Formula - yes

My buddy has a 303 and it does not have an enclosed head. The 31 - 35's probably do, but I have not seen the inside of them.
