My 1986 190 Seville has returned to port tied to the stern of another boat FOR THE LAST TIME!!!!! We plan to replace the old tub with a newer bowrider. My preference is clearly Sea Ray but in the price range the Ministry of Finance has allocated I am afraid I'm limitted. SO that being said I am looking at few other brands and I would like some opinions on their quality.. Engine size and brand are not the issue as Mercruiser is Mercruiser and Volvo is Volvo without regard to what fiberglass surrounds them. So I am looking at 2008 thru 2011 Larson's, 2011 & 2012 Bayliner's, a 2008 185 Sea Ray, 2006 thru 2008 Glastron, 2008 Four Winns, 2011 Crownline's, 2011 Tahoe, and 2011 Rinker.... All of the above range between $17,000 and $24,000... All are in the 18' range. Here is the question.. How do these boats stack up when it comes to fit and finish, overall quality and so on??
Sea Ray,
Larson,
Bayliner,
Glastron,
Four Winns,
Crownline,
Tahoe,
Rinker,
Thoughts???? Feel free to order these in order of ranking on quality.. Thanks in advance
