Josh, you dont have my old boat do you? Adrenaline? I boat in the Atlantic and sold i to guy in SC,

btw: my old 280 had quite a few stress cracks, my new Concept has a couple but nothing like the PQ, my old 95 257 PQ didnt have any that I can remember

A 290 OL is a lot bigger boat than a 280, the cabin is huge in the OL, the OL will also be more stable and predictable of a ride, I dont consider it to be an apples to apples comparison

No i met the guy that had my boat new. Hes on here somewhere. It was from missouri originally. Went to new york then Charleston sc. And then to me. The baja 272 is the apples to apples comparison for the 280. the 280 is actually 27'7" with equal power the 280 is generally 5 to 7 mph faster than the 272 due to the step hull. Cornering is sacrificed by the step hull thoe. Twin engine boats are always more stable.

The majority of them have never heard of anything other than a baja or fountain and thay call them all "cigar boats". Its not necessarily that baja is an inferior boat its the quality of the owners that i am around that i have a problem with.
