Best Deck Boat
I have been toying with the idea of acquiring a deck boat as a second boat to run around in. Taking more people out when I don't want to go too fast. Any suggestions? I was thinking about something not too used? I haven't seen any for a good price that would be of interest.

My buddy is a Hurricane ( Godfrey's fiberglass deck boat) dealer. He has 2 left over deck boats with Yamaha outboards. I think they are both 2005's. They are about 20' - 22' long. I saw them in his storage building but didn't take a close look. His name is Tom at 973 663 0167 and they are in NJ.

For the $money$, our 20' Starcraft has been a great value....I purchased it in 05' as a leftover 04' w/o power. Got it for under 15k new. Put my Merc 150XR6(already had it from a Switzer I'm rebuilding) on and what a great family boat! Only thing I hear complaints about is the 2 stroke smoker; wife and other passengers have made a few comments. I would do a 4stroker or i/o if possible. Deck boats are the best way to get 10+ people out with you and be able to ski & recreate comfortably.

If anyone has real interest in these 2 Hurricane leftovers, just let me know. I will get more info and pictures. I think one had a 4 stroke 115 and the other had a 4 stroke 150.
