Here's another. In kit form or even from plans.
Click on the Bel Aire 26 center console.

Ya, I was just dreaming a little.
I've been looking at boats. I saw a 28 foot mako when I was crossing the border. I looked it up when I got home and it was like $80,000. But it was
beautiful.
If I can get my hands on a 21 foot Bayliner bowrider for about $5000 I'll fish and dive out of that or a while.
Probably fish about as well as a panga and more comfortable seats.
Most have a v8 so plenty of power.

You dont want a straight shaft if'n you're gonna be using it out front of your place at Pedregal. You want sumpin that will tilt.
I think I'd take the responsiveness of an OB or an OD when crossing the bar out front with the rollers, too.
They do build great boats, though...........luv that 28.

Ahhh,
The perfect boat. That's the one that belongs to someone else, but I get invited along.
Next best is a rented panga with local captain on the East Cape.
I have owned two boats. My favorite was a 15 foot Hobie Power Skiff, 40 horse motor. It was small, a good close to shore ocean fisher, and had a very
wet ride. Lots of fun.
Next was a 17 foot Whaler. Nice boat, and I tripled my investment when it was totaled while tied to a dock as I was having lunch. Thank you Allstate
Insurance.

There is no such thing as the perfect boat. It is always a matter of compromises and your specific priorities.

The perfect boat
Just like Baitcast's new fishing partner, they're all pretty, but in the end it comes down to preference, and options. No such thing as perfect.

Ya perfect is subjective for sure !
But the Albin comes close. Diesel power, completely flush deck. Excellent rough water speed.
What are the most important aspects of a Baja fishing boat?

Safety
Fuel Economy (This will become increasingly important, I think)
Speed (You have to go farther, more often, to get to the fish)
Reliability (No Sea Tow)
Ability to launch and retrieve at low tide on poor ramps, or even no ramp
