Title: Looking For a New Boat
Post by: GMiller509 on January 26, 2016, 07:16:21 AM
I just sold my old boat so it is time to start looking for a new one.  I have been poking around the forum for some time now, but finally decided to make an account.  Below are some of the criteria I am looking for, let me know what you got.

Probably an open bow.  I am not opposed to a closed bow, but I am 6'7" and generally fit better in a open bow.

454 or other Chevy motor variant.  Would prefer recently rebuilt, or low hours on original.

Solid floor and clean interior.  Not looking for any sort of project, I put some money into the last boat and don't want to have to do that again.

Would prefer the new style interior with full motor hatch and bench seat with captains chairs.

Fresh pump with place diverter (manual or hydraulic)

That about covers it all, budget is around 11k with a little room to go up for the right boat. A test drive is a must for me, so please be ready to go to Elsinore or if the boat is out at the river I can meet you there.

Bump!!

I can go up to $14000 for the right boat, not looking to spend the entire budget but for the right boat I can.  There has to be something out there.

I'm getting ready to start pushing this since boating season is coming near. I'm 6'4" and this boat alway fit me fine. I will be going to Billy B's at the end of the month and the boat is at the river house if you want to put it on the river and run it.

Not really what I'm looking for.

I really like the Carrera Elite or 202xr, also like the look of the advantage hulls. Come on guys, there has to be something out there that you're ready to sell.

The budget is 15-16k and the expectations were laid out in the first post.  I'm sure your dad's boat is nice and I could get buddies to vouch for my old boat too.  But at the end of the day, we just didn't like the color scheme.  Its nothing personal.

I'm not relying on you guys to find me a boat, I am on Craigslist and other forums every day.  What I am hoping for, is someone responding to this thread that has a boat I am looking for.  Or someone that hasn't really listed it anywhere but will consider selling.

Well the search is over, picked up this boat from moose35 and his dad this weekend.  Thanks to those who looked for me and to those that reached out with boats of their own.  I will post more pics when I get back out to the river, it was a busy weekend for me so I just had to stick the boat in the garage and take off.

When you get around to taking pics will you take some pics of the hinges for you're engine hatch? Thanks!
