I suggest making a list of features that the boats you are considering have. Some features may be deal breakers, it's your money so you decide.
Features I like on my 29' Fountain that my last performance boat did not have: Electric engine hatch Electric seat bolsters GPS Speedometer 2.5x fresh water capacity and electric pump Battery switches under seat instead of engine compartment. Batteries in cockpit compartments instead of engine compartment. Fresh water flush systems Anchor locker Pop-up cleats Swim step ladder w/compartment Oil temp and water pressure gauges Oil and power steering coolers Latham steering vs cable Real trim tabs vs sheet metal Trim and tab position indicators 140 gal fuel capacity Pump out porti potty Silent choice - nice when idling around marinas and a bunch of other boaters who don't "appreciate h.p." the way we do About 9 m.p.h. increase in speed with similar power Things I liked better on my old boat. Much more cabin and storage space (you don't really get a spacious cabin until you are into a 38' Lightening or larger IMO) Taller windshield, real glass, with windshield wipers (I put a heater in the boat, and with a full top was able to use it year-round). |

[QUOTE=On Time;3801702]Back4More you mention the look of a Fountain. Tell me what boat looks better from the air or dock than a 42 Fountain? You do get used to the profile on the water and I like it now too. And check mine out: (That's the boss up front...)[/QUOTE
On the trailer too, Thats for sure! The boss likes to drive it while idling...its fine with me. |

I love my 25 Outlaw with the only complaint being very little room between the rear bench and bolsters. It is comfortable for 3-4 adults buts gets crowded with more. These boats are not fast at all and takes quite a bit of power to get them going (ask me how I know). There is a 2008 26 Outlaw on Ebay right now which I think could be had for $55,000 and has a 525 EFI, I would think it would be a mid 70's MPH boat.

Mid 70's in a 26 Baja? You'd better have nerves of steel and not have been drinking!
