Newb, sure its not the first time.
 

Ok here goes.
Looking to purchase FIRST boat. I live in Portage Lakes Ohio. Which is only a hour from Lake Erie and can be in the Ohio river in a short trip. I drive a F350 as my daily and have 3 kids.
Looking for general information on purchasing something not to large for Portage Lakes and not to small for Erie.
I really LIKE the Baja 250's and a Regal Ventura I love the layout of. I Like the low lean cuddy.
Thanks for any input or help.
Also trying to stay around 20k.
Like I said I am sure you hear this all the time.

EDIT: closed cooling comment was meant for a different thread.

Check Powerboat Swap Shop on Facebook, There was a 1990 250 posted today for $14,500 in IL, looks clean

Baja Rooster
Due to the slow cruising of the Portage Lakes?
Thanks

Thanks

No need for closed cooling. The Great Lakes are salt free.

Why would he need closed cooling to run in fresh water?

Some people think the Great Lakes are salt. Common thought.

Really🙀

I thought that I was responding to a different thread (OMC Cobra). Completely disregard my post about the closed cooling.

But to your question... The Bajas are a great starter boat and should be well within your budget.
