1987 Baja Force 250

This Force 250 still wears that unmistakable late‑80s Baja profile—long, lean bow, aggressive sheer, and a deep, confidence‑inspiring V that begs for open water. The cuddy gives you just enough overnight flexibility for a quick run-and-camp weekend, with room to toss bags, boards, and gear out of the cockpit. At the helm, visibility is excellent thanks to the low foredeck and raked windshield, so running in light chop feels controlled instead of guesswork. Twin small‑block V6s keep weight down compared to big‑block setups, which helps the boat pop onto plane and stay efficient on fuel. For someone who likes tinkering, it’s a very approachable canvas without being a bare-bones hull.

A 25-foot Baja with a deep‑V hull is a sweet spot for the mix of inland lakes, winding rivers, and occasional big-water days you’ll find in this region. It’s compact enough to tow easily with a half-ton truck and launch at smaller ramps, yet long enough to slice through afternoon boat wakes without beating you up. The cuddy is ideal for stashing gear when storms roll through or for grabbing shade during long days on the hook. Twin V6 power offers reliable performance for cruising, watersports, and fast runs between marinas, while still being economical to run and service with widely available parts and mechanics in the area.
