I am aware every setup won't be exactly the same I was just trying to get a general reference point but I hear what your saying, so a general rule is a trailer adds about 5 or 6 ft onto the boat length? This helps, thanks.
Hello all, I am in the planning stages of building a garage and am trying to future proof the build as best I can I know sometime in the future we will be buying a 240 sundeck or something comparable in size. My question is for anyone who currently has a 240. What is the overall length from the...
Hello all. I just bought this boat over Thanksgiving week 2021. Since then I've been working on updating some maintenance issues and while working on it today I saw this. It's a fairly deep chip in the hull on the bottom of the boat. It's a 2004 200 select. The location of this is about directly...
Yea I saw that and wasn't sure if that's water or just discoloration and dirt. He said it's the later but I will keep an eye on that when I go see it and take it on the water. I will keep an eye on and inquire about the bearings also thank you
Thank you so much for this reply. I appreciate the time you took to type all that out and I will be taking this with me to look at it for sure. I feel a little in over my head with this purchase as I just like to know more about what I'm buying then I feel I do with this right now. It's not for...
Update: so I think I may have found a real possible contender. It's a 2004 200 select with the 5.0 mpi. Without really talking to him to much he said he would go down to $16,500. From pictures alone it appears to be in really good shape inside and out and he claims maintenance has been done...
Ok I'll look into that thanks. I had read from a few different outlets to stay away from jetboats that have some age on them because they are not so good as they get older so I had dismissed them before but I know there are a few for sale in my area so I'll look into them.
Yea that tow part is where my limit will be. I'm towing with a Toyota 4runner with a 5000 lb limit. I guess I could trade it on a truck but don't really care to do that as I don't have a need for a truck besides towing the boat. I can definitely see how a boat this size could be outgrown quickly...
Yea I plan to use the boat for quality family time on a few of the local lakes around. It's my wife, 8 year old, and I. Probably take some friends along as well sometimes, probably won't have more then about 6 or 7 onboard at any given time. We will be towing inflatables and wakeboard probably...
First off great forum and information. I'm a soon to be first time boat owner looking to make a purchase within a month or so. I think as of right now I have narrowed it down to 2. The first is (and this is why I have posted here) a 2002 searay 182. 5he second is a 2005 ebbtide 200. I know I...
