    What's your favorite individual production powerboat 40' LOA or less with price below $250,000 (not motorsailor, not PWC, just a powerboat that is production, NOT custom)? Name it, detail it and state why you find it to be your favorite.

    Har...har....har. I limited it to $250k (US dollars) to see what people like that they (as a regular person) could eventually/possibly afford.

    If your talking new I can't list what I like because of the price limit. I of course will be buying used as usual.

    As woodboat suggests, a 250K limit rules out an awful lot of boats.
    Ok - I have one on the drawing boards that (hopefully) might get built one day - for rather less than USD 250K.
    40ft long, lightweight cored FRP construction. Single D6 volvo dp sterndrive. 25 knot max. sleeps 4 +2. I'd give you a name but I'd be giving away a trade secret ;) :D

    I would be happy with a Pursuit 3070 Offshore . Decent build, serious design, and outboard power add up to a winner for me.

    I'd like a nice outboard powered RHIB (rigid hull inflatable boat) about 32' LOA. Maybe a full keel full displacement trawler such as an American Tug (americantug.com)

    Custom boats are a no-no. Production powerboats...yes. $250k limit is fair enough, you can even get a Chris-Craft for well under $250k.
