Default Open Bow vs Cuddy Cabin

Ok - so I'm completely biased ...

For us, the bowrider was a better choice for both of us (she has no
problem dropping into the water for a refreshing break - even in Lake
Erie !!!) and that's what we've had in the last three boats. The one
before that, a 23' Maxxum, was a cuddy but like many others have
stated, it was used for nothing but storage. Our current bowrider,
the 24' Baja, has the fully enclosed space for a porta-potty but we
don't have one in the boat. Instead the storage area is used for - ta
daaaa - storage :-)

Also, as one other poster mentioned - it's got a small-block engine,
but still capable of delivering plenty of power. It's a 6.2L
Mercruiser putting out 320hp.

oh yea - and it's FOR SALE. And our next boat will be a bowrider
also :-)

and if you need a truck to tow it with, we have that available also.
But ONLY as a
package with the boat. I don't really want to sell the truck, but if
it helps move the boat ...
