I have found several but any help would be appreciated. If u have one for sale let me know. Thanks alot everbody. I don't want to spend more than about 20k for it either. Give me some opinions.

The two best days as a boat owner is the day he buys it and the day he sells it......
That being said, I have had over 16 best days.... Find the cleanest one owner boat you can find and take it to a trusted mechanic and have them check out the mechanicals. Regardless, boats are holes in the water you throw money into. However, after boating for over 35 years, I cannot think of a better way to spend your disposable dollars. |
I'm surprised no ones asked what kind of use he's looking to get out of the boat? If your looking for a family cruiser with all the creature comforts at 55mph, then a Rinker would certainly fit his needs. If your looking for a boat to get you started, with solid hull platform to throw bigger power in, you might want to search elsewhere. Also, where are you boating??? It might be worth it to wait it out a year and save up a bit more money. The amount of boat you can get with 20k vs 30k in this kind of market is HUGE.

Thanks alot for everyones opinion. I found a nice looking 22' scarab for 16900. I am really liking it. Let me know what u think. http://www.chevroletpower.cz28.com/PokerRunScarab.html. I think I might go and look at this one this weekend. We do most of our boating either at lake Cumberland in Kentucky or on the Ohio river. We live in cincinnati and those are the best places to go. Thanks again for all the help. Give me some opinions on the boat.

OK if you're only gonna use it on overcast/rainy days. In the sun, that black will burn ya!:evilb: You'd need a pair of insulated hunting boots to walk on the deck midday. Also, when the water is still cold, your wife or SO would appreciate a cuddy:food-smiley-009:. I'd say keep looking.....there's some killer deals out there right now.
