[Goodtime$]

any comments.
Yes, go bigger if you plan on running on Lake Pacific because he will want to upgrade sooner than he thinks.
Oh and another thing, economical and boating are two words that do not go well together :rollside:

GoodTimes, I've got the perfect boat for sale - pass it on to him if you like:

Nice looking boat Chestah. I own a DANA 27 and love how it rides. I havent had it long though.

[Chestah Cheetah]

Right back at ya - I've always loved the low profile (no pun intended) of the Dana 27.

I could not agree more with this. Also in the big blue I like twins just in case. The 29 Chester Cheetah has listed is as nice a riding 29 you will find. I am a little biased as we own one. Also with the single is about as economical as boating gets. :rolleyes: There will be more bigger boats with twins for sale as gas prices climb IMHO.

[Chestah Cheetah]

Thanks for the kind words PShift - We definately need to hook up on the water one of these days to compare rides since we're pretty much the only 2 in CA that I know of. Preferably somewhere far from Lost Isle this time... :rollside:

I got one for you. I like the way this hull handles the chop. Great boat for out there.

boat looks great whys it for sale?

[Steamin' Rice]

How much $$ is he looking to spend? I would suggest getting the biggest, newest boat in his price range with stock power.

[FASTERDAMITT]

I think we lost him!

[DILLIGAF]

DAB has a 29 Shockwave for sale that would be a good buy right now....It is in the SPAM section.

Good answer :rollside:

Not

[Grinnin'B]

Hook your friend up.....lead him to look at Sunsation.

[Goodtime$]

I think he is leaning towards a westcoast boat. I sent him the info on the 29 shockwave, the dana is a killer deal but with the open bow, its not too salt friendly.
I also sent him to look at some Bajas for the price. Thanks guys.

[Goodtime$]

we have both come to conclusion that we are going to leave a shitty river boat at our river pads and build something that is ocean worthy. Since we both live accross the street from the beach, him in DP and me in SD and the river is 4.5 hours away to go boating.
I think he is leaning towards the 29 shockwave or an east coast older with twins.
Thanks guys

[FASTERDAMITT]

Is he looking for a single engine rough water boat like this?

Here's mine. Handles the ocean very well. One of the most capable singe engine offshore V's made.

yah, hope you dont mind but ive crawled around this boat already. Our rigger built your motor. Killer ride, the beam on the bad boy is narrow..wow must run hard.
Thanks guys......
anyone have any info an 30ft Bajas Outlaw? my buddy found one and wants to know pros-cons.

[LAFD]

from what i was told it is better to have 2 motors if your gunna be runnin in the big blue. incase one motor craps out you can limp back.

He can't tell you the rest :rollside:

[Goodtime$]

Hahahah yah the superboat is cool, i was just checking out the huge heat exchanger you got. Howz the 588 running?

[Goodtime$]

yah for the price of a 29 shockwave, there are some pretty close deals on 30 outlaws w/twins. Thanks guys

[FASTERDAMITT]

Hahahah yah the superboat is cool, i was just checking out the huge heat exchanger you got. Howz the 588 running?
598 runs great. The sound is really something with the 5" dry exhaust.

[Quality Time]

Do some research on the year Baja you are considering. On the other boards there have been a few threads that discussed stringer issues in some of the Outlaws. Don't remember the year or model. The new 30 is a nice boat.

[FASTERDAMITT]

I agree, the new Baja 30 looks nice!

[Goodtime$]

Thanks guys. My buddy told me he has two 34 aftershock Vs bare hulls for sale if you know anyone who is interested.....Ill check into the Bajas, i know they are a production builder.

[vmjtc3]

I got one foe ya at only 20k you cant go wrong. It has only 12 hours on the 454 mag. Even has built in ac. Look down :)

[hotlavey]
