Here is a list of Baja's for sale. Lots to look at. If you can swing the size look at the older 280's. Great boat for lake Michigan and you can get them at good prices.

You and me must look at the same boats. I have been on Boat Trader, Ebay, iBoats, and I am sure a few other places. I know some of these boats quite well. I have a ton of photos from a few of those sellers.
I will probably have to find a website for slow boaters looking at probably buying this...http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/5/5/89645855.htm

Is this Obnoxus' personal storage? I never knew about Old Plank Rd Marina. I have been to Frankfort numerous times and never heard of it. Something to look into indoor winter storage vs out at the farm.

Dennis (Obnoxus) owns Watson Marine...that's where the storage is.
Old Plank is literally right in front of my house. They just did a MAJOR overhaul of the building. If you know where the bike path crosses over Lagrange - funky-looking bridge - it's right there.

Well I found a boat today, should have the deal done in a week or so once the loan papers between me and the seller are done.
I bought a 92 Wellcraft 23'Nova Spyder. I know it is a heavy boat and won't exactly do 65-70 but that is ok with me. It comes with 2 props one that cruises at 55 and pulls outta the hole good, the other has more top end around 60. The weight and design of the boat allow it to handle waves some good waves. Will I want to move up, yes, but I am on the water in a safe reliable boat.
