Hey everyone,
Since the free boat deal fell through months ago, I would like to look at buying a boat. I would like the boat to be at least 20ft but no more than 25ft. Since I most likely would not be sleeping on it, a bow rider would be fine, and I want an I/O set up. I would like to stay away from jet boats. I know the common brands such as Sea Ray, etc but what about some other brands? Is there a major difference in quality? Any names I should look at?
A good family just got a 2000 Chaperral 20 ft cuddy, with a V8; he paid $11,000 for it. It is a very nice boat, but what about the brand? I would like to stay in the range of $11,000 - 13,000. This would be my first entry into the boating world. Any tips.
Thanks,
Zack
