what is a good proformance open bow boat or open fish with a lot of seating in a 23ft to 25 ft range
I was looking at a Checkmate 24ft 2400 BRX 300 xs Optimax. they say it will hit 70

The sting of poor quailty far outlasts the Joy of a cheap price...
Baja !
Dare I say it on this great Donzi site !
I am a Donzi guy~~~Have been since the 70s !
Baja
They make/made several great I/O performance boats with open bows in this size 23, 25, 27 range !
Baja is owned by the very same holding company that now also owns Donzi, Fountain, Pro-line, etc.
The Baja brand seems to be in production limbo at the moment ~~~
But production is expected to begin again soon ! ?
There are some great used ones out there !
A neighbor of mine owns a Baja~~~
Great family performance, all around general use & fishing boat !
Very Fast Boats~~~for what they are !
Don't forget the later open Donzi boat models also !
Very Fast too !

Depends on how unique a hull you would like to own and how many degrees of deadrise you are hoping to have under you for that big lake water Buddy, if you mention a wacker again on this site you'll be sent to the woodshed.

Thanks,

I had a 252BR Formula, had it had more power i'd probably still have it..
I would agree the ZXO is awesome as well as the formula 252 just that the ZXO +3 feet has the walk through which would provide a little shelther in a squall and oh been there.
DAULEY, do you have a slip constraint that limits you to less then 25 feet including any swim platform, whether it be integrated or added on? I would look for something more unique that not only gives you the bow ride function, but alos provides a small mid cabin area like the attached pic. Nice to get kids or the wife out of the weather or sun when needed and still easily go 60mph with a full load of peeps.
