biggest bang for the $$

hello im new to this forum. Im also new to boating in general, although I have been on friends boats, I want my own. I was wondering what boat would be considered the biggest bang for the buck for something around 125k-150k fairly new between 25'-32'. ?

boats im considering:
Eliminator
Nordic
Hallet
formula
whatever else youd recommend in that price range.


thanks
George

I would look at a Superboat. They are a lot less then what you are looking to spend and perform very well with a single engine. The ride and build quality is very good.

Also look at Sonic. They make a very nice 31 with twins that will fit into your price point. Unlimited Marine in Russell Springs/Jamestown KY has a new one on order for stock, Talk to Carl for details. Joe Murray

I agree. But I am biased!

For the $$ he is talking he can probably get into a '34 Super.

What are your wants/needs? Pure speed? Is there a wife with creature comfort needs? How fast do you want to go? What kind of water will you be boating in? Will you be overnighting? Reliability? You should develop a list of items 1-5 and rate what is the most important to you

Bottom line - different strokes for different folks.
