Boat Shopping

[Weave]

Hey guys......Sad and happy day all together! Sold my little 180 yesterday to a cousin. Actually used it for 3 seasons and made 400 bucks. Break even is nice.

Anyway...Looking for a boat in the 20-22 foot range, What are some things to look for and pro's and con's of Sundeck versus Selects....Thanks guys. Ohhh yeah..Can't afford brand new but trying to keep it around 20-25K

Hi,

I just bought a 2006 200 select with the 4.3mpi. I was concerned about the power before I purchased the boat. The power has not been an issue for me at all. I do recommend a high 5 prop which definitely increases my hole shot and ability to plane. I am losing mph on the top end, however, being able to go 43 versus 41 really isn't really a concern.

I got my boat for $22,500 which included wakeboard tower, high five prop and extra battery. The boat had 43hrs. I haven't seen many selects with the 4.3 option, since my dealer stated they never stock them, but it is a very nice boat for the price and I would recommend the 4.3 option if you can save some money and equip it with the right prop

22500...was that out the door?
Seems decent to me.....I should certainly have room to bargain going up to 25k, dont ya think?

By the way, one sharp looking set-up you have there

Consider that as using your 1 and only boating Mulligan!
