im bored and need ideas

03darkshadow, I have a 22 Velocity and boat on the upper bay. I don't know where you plan on going on the bay, but I have been down to the bay bridge on mine. It can get really nasty real quick on the bay!! I am ok with the ride I get out of my boat on most days. You would also get a good ride out of one of the 24X7 boats like the Pantera, Python, Superboat, etc. etc.

Good Luck

mostly upper bay, places like nauti goose, ches inn, or just f'n around and go swim, and the occasional jellyfish joels.


if/when I get something we'll have to go grab a beer.

For $20K, I'd be looking for a 27 Magnum.

[Top Banana]

so i should probably stick with pantera, superboat, or a small cig.

thanks.

What about a 24 banana? They are made from the old 24 Cigarette molds....can't get a better real water boat than that. Plus they are 8 feet wide, not 7 like the other 24 brands.

We just took one in trade on a new 24 banana, and it sold within a week. Try posting on the banana boat section, maybe some owners are looking to get out or move up.

the website is www.bananaboatco.com

my experience is very limited in offshore boats. I dont really know much about the 24 bananas, after reading the site.. i like them. i guess i could get one and paint it yellow and paint dole on the side

I think a Baja 24 Outlaw would be a good starter for you and there should be plenty of decent ones in your price range. Handle the rough pretty well, standup bolsters and will run around 60-62 with with a 454 mag. It will feel like a bigger boat compared to the 24'x7' boats.

Keep the costs of financing and insurance in mind. Rates are gonna be pricey on both.

21 Challenger/Superboat or Any 24x7 boat

[03darkshadow]

so the baja 24 outlaw is a 23 degree deadrise. and the pantera, sb, etc are 24 degrees. what about the 24 or 25 sunsation, I saw a 24 on s and fly and kind of like it, i just dont know its deadrise or how they handle some rough water.

Do you think a decent one can be had for $20K ?

[DonMan]

or Any 24x7 boat

Let`s play name all of the 24x7 boats.


Pantera, Python, Superboat . . . . .

Pretty sure the 24 OL is 24* deadrise. It is just a lot deeper boat and its 8' wide. Its a stand up boat, where the others are sit down boats with shallow freeboard.

[03darkshadow]

i didnt know the pantera was a sit down boat, I definately want a stand up one.

Very good call!!!
Such beautiful lines on those boats.
I WILL have an old 27' Mag in the stable one day next to the Pantera. Also have a Mistress on that list.

You can find 24's both stand-up and sit-down.
But, If you intend to stand, there isn't much freeboard.
I'm setting mine up as a sit-down. Considered the bolsters, but as someone else once said, at about 6' tall, standing in this boat, "I'd stick out like a boner in sweat-pants".

[03darkshadow]

thats a little older then i would like, and something about it doesnt jump out at me.

Also, I want an inboard boat, i just like the sound better, sorry guys
