You better make a decision soon, there's only about 22weeks and 3days until boating season starts :D

Has the Mystique 500EFI's been rebuilt prior? Something to consider -- you're in even that much better shape w/ the Cig. if it has had a top end job.

Bottom line... No doubt, Make and engines will keep you in-the-money..... Listen to Tres and Phil --- they know their stuff and won't say it if it isn't true.

better rebuild those drives too...


NOT :rolleyes:

Yea Yea.
But to me boating is about passion and loving what you have.
If its the deal thats important, the passion has to be put aside to some extent. I personally like old school styling, and don't think a formula would be on my list, no matter how good a boat it is(which it is!) and how good the deal. I won't boat to save money... its all about the enjoyment. Just my $0.02.

And this is where our boy bern is having a hard time.
Get what you want, or get the good deal.

a little off topic, but my mom was looking for a new car, with best deal she could get. I pointed her towards a new bmw X3, excellent deals back in the summer($36000car for $400/mo, nothing down). It was an ok driver. But after driving the audi A3 3.2 w/ dsg, she was hooked. the audi was more money, but the enjoyment she was going to have was worth it.

very well said and i agree totally...looking for best of both worlds. all i'm looking at are deals atleast in my opinion just a matter of pulling trigger at this point

Re: OK have narrowed down my choices
 
the biggest problem is that with the way the market is right now there are alot of great boats out there at great prices
