I guess I was being overly optimistic. I just want something that looks good/modern and won't break the bank.

Try looking at an older ('87-88) formula 242ss. Has larger than you would expect room. Seats 6 comffy with o/s styling.
Good solid riding boat that handles large rivers and close shore slop nicely.
P.s. I am partial to these.

I think I'm looking for something that would push mid 80's with my engine. The 242 is a heavier boat?

What do you have for a motor thats going to push 6 or 7 people mid 80s in a 24 foot single?

I have a 600 horse 505 BBC but I didn't mean 80 with a full load. I would like to find a boat that would run mid 80s with that engine, with just two people

This sounds akin to wanting a 1/4" torque wrench adjustable to 200 lb/ft to tighten a 2-1/2" bolt.
1/4" drive = 22'-24' boat
2-1/2" bolt = 6-7 people
200 lb/ft = 80 mph.
One or more specs need to be adjusted, i think
keep us posted as what you find. Good luck

Any and all information is welcome. I don't claim to know much about this. I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I buy something.

we are real good at giving information. sometimes it comes with a touch of attitude. usually it is good information. now you have a 600 hp 509. marine engine or 10.2 second in a 3000 lb car engine?
