ok, im going to start looking for another toy, ive been looking for awhile now, and now its getting alittle more serious, looking for something with outboards, dont know why i like them so much but i do, price is a major factor, if its something older and needs alittle work, like new gauges, updated throttles, cool by me, ya know the cosmetic stuff, i seem to be finding myself looking at powerplays, 25s and 28s with twin clamp ons, i really want something with a small cabin so i can do the very occasional over nighter, or if i were to get sauced up, stay at the marina, 24 superboats seem cool, ive only seen one with twins on it though, and that was on this site, every now and then i start looking at 24 skaters, but those dont have and berths or cabins in them, however i could see myself with one, so what are some outboard boats in that size range, and of course at the lower end of the price spectrum because i dont know how to find a career with the big money, 27 magnums are always the "other option" that would be about the only i/o boat i think i might get, or a 28 cig with twins, so lets hear all the opionins

Love the Formulas and hope to be the proud owner of a 26 SS this spring. Only problem is that he said he likes egg beaters on the back.

There are a couple of very clean Superboat 24's out there and they are a nice fit "all around" if you need a small cuddy. My vote would be for the Magnum Sport 25 for sale on this board. Unique and well cared for overallwith a single. Heavy enough for the rough stuff and small enough to afford. There really is no need to go any larger than 25' in my opinion. I nay board members are in the Lake Havasu area let me know.

cuda, doesnt your formula have surface drives on it? i would consider that boat if i could afford it, im sure its pretty damn nice, im gonna guess it runs somewhere in the high 60's or am i wrong?

It has been gps'd at 78.6.

It's probably more affordable than you think. I haven't had it out this year, but Debbie's making noise about me taking her out in it this Saturday. I still start it up about once a month.

454/420's that have been gently massaged. It has the Kaama Surface drives.
