Help needed from the most knowledgeable offshore boating community on line period.

A close friend of mine is looking for a nice boat preferably a Formula,Baja,Fountain, not older than 89 with bravo drives and trailer.
Budget is set at around $24k ,seller must allow full survey including sea trial (i know not much time left for sea trial up north. )and compression test, I have a couple of friends here like Lil' red and Sprink58 helping with their experience.

If anybody comes across something similar please let us know since my friend is serious about buying ( cash ready).
We had a seatrial on a nice 336 sr1 that fitted criteria seller said it was running good 3 weeks ago but when it was put on the water it wouldn't move and needed engines replaced (according to very reputable surveyor)

Thanks in advance for your help.Hoping to hear from you all .

Hey Diego not sure where I saw it. Either ebay or lake ozarks marine or double r or pier 57 but there was a nice looking 29 fever with twin big blocks for like 24000 91 I think

I know this guy has an 89 280.

There's an 89 formula 311 on the FB powerboat swap shop with pretty new 502 550hp motors boat looks super clean he is asking 22,000 and has a trailer. His contact info is on the FB page but I don't feel comfortable putting his info out on a public forum pm me and I will give it to you if you're interested.

Thank you Diego for your time and effort. The boat will be for, me also considering a Donzi.

Here it is

Nice looking boat

Buddy is selling this on CL in Portland Oregon.It's a good boat only a bit far from your location. >

***30' Regal Velocity***
1989, 30' Regal Velocity, Twin Mercruiser 454 Mag (365hp), Bravo 1 drives, 4 blade props, Drew steering stabilizers. New Teleflex gauges with GPS Speedo. K-Planes with indicators. Full cockpit cover and full boat cover included. Tripple axle aluminum trailer with fairly new tires. Great running boat, just don't use much anymore and would like to find it a good home. Boat cruises nice at 45-50mph (3000-3400rpm) and tops out full of fuel at 70ish. Great rough water boat and gets lots of compliments when out. I had boat listed at $24,000, but will look at all offers. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Agree , nice boat but he is looking for 454 mags or 502's , hope you are doing great btw saw your boat on CL

Thanks for your post but he wants round windshield , boat does look good also and those speed numbers are impressive

I really like the 29' Baja Outlaw...But I think you'll be super hard pressed to find one at that price.
