Talking Where To Start

Finally deciding to step up my game and go big. Just looking for recommendations or suggestions on boat types, styles, brands. Looking for something I can spend a night or two on, if I needed to, looking to seat six. Also I'm a bit of an adrenalin junkie, so I'm gonna need a solid cruise speed, and something I can mash on once in a while. I'll be looking in the 200 to 275K range, may be able to stretch to 300k. This is just the start of my search so any help is much appreciated. Thanks. JS

37 Active Thunder with 525efis sounds like it would work well for you and there are some very nice ones for sale. Top speed around 90mph with a very nice cabin and deep free board.

The boat geterdunn recommended will suite your needs and with stock power... 100 mph boat with all the new goodies. Hull is an 04' but everything is new in 2008/09'. Has a spacious cabin for overnighting and it's in your price range...

37 Active Thunder
38-39 Cigarette
37-39 Outerlimits
388 Hustler
38 Donzi

For the amount or money you have to spend, you can come out with a very nice rig!
