depending on the condition of the engines, not bad. My buddy Jeff (did the back flips on your boat years ago) has a 69 pacemaker 33 and his buddy has this boat. It's the sportfish model and one good thing about the one you're looking at is the cabin windows have been glassed over. Probably solved a bad leaking problem and cheaper than replacing the windows.

I brought the 33 down from up in Edgewood down to weavers in backriver. Interesting ride!

It won't win any races but it's a solid heavy boat.

Doesn't look bad for the money, but the engines probably need to be refreshed. Deck looks like it could use a coat of awl grip. Pacemakers are heavy and slow like the older displacement hull Trojans but they'll take the rough water.

Looks like thats right up your alley.It may be slow but its probably gonne give you a good ride and comfort in adverse weather.I gave up 50kts for 23kts and havent missed the speed most of the times.Now since the money pit was fed I am back up to 32kts.This would make a nice party barge,you dont have to worry about it getting trashed by some of your guests.

Mikey, I dont know what your budget is on this one is but....
If I had to do it all over again, I would look at a 25-28 ft trailerable front cabin boat
Like a 27ft judge or big parker with dual steering stations and full canvas
Fuel efficient big 4stroke - 250-300 hp, sip gas on the troll- roll out at 40mph when needed
You can leave it in the slip for afterwork trips but still be mobile for Breezy, Solomons, PLO, CBBT, Del bay, Cape May, OC, NC, etc
Load it on the trailer and roll, small enough to handle yourself- big enough for 4-6 guys
Up front cost would be higher but you would have a lifetime rig
Very desirable rig as well if you ever had to unload it, good resale value
If I knew then what I know now.....
Good luck in your search bro
My 2cents
