Hey guys I am thinking about buyingy first boat and wanted some opinions. I am looking for a 22' or bigger speed boat with a cuddy. I really like the Bajas and Scarabs. I have found several but any help would be appreciated. If u have one for sale let me know. Thanks alot everbody. I don't want to spend more than about 20k for it either. Give me some opinions.

Better talk with your wife, she says you want a cruiser.

LOL.....

The 23 Wellcraft Eclipse is a good all-around boat with a decent cabin for its size, enclosed head, room to sleep, sink, etc, economical, can pull a tube, has enough room to relax on it... If you want something faster you can get into a Nova that has less of a cabin, or a 22' Scarab or Baja that has little to no cabin at all.

If you don't mind going a little bit older the 21-24'Liberators are nice boats, handle rough water well, pretty fast if you get the single big block or twin small blocks, and have decent cabins in them.

Funny thing is, is that Zeller is my mom and KingLaney is my friend. I told them both about this site. They are both looking for a boat. Help them out!

Got a 26' Infinity. Like a Donzi or Baja. but better. 454 mag. bravo . 1994 No issues. need some upholstery TDC but I can take care of it. $10 K. with trailer. 69.3 MPH at the Miss. kilo run some time ago. Or.. an older classic Formula 272 with twin 350 mags. Also 10 K.

For $20k how about we custom build my 24' sunsation to your spec??? Still time to pick a motor and colors!

Do u have pics of either one?

20k is a bit more than I want to spend. Why are u getting rid of it ?

That's great! Welcome to the site. My advise to your mom also applies for your friend, although cruisers are more likely to be found at a marina than a sport boat. Good luck to both in their searches.
Might look at a 232 Rinker. They have a huge cockpit and a useful cuddy.
