Buy a boat cash and have money to use it, getting in debt will not make you any happier out on the water because you will want more. Have a 100,000 boat, you want a 300,000. Have a 500,000 and you need a 800,000 etc.


PM'd you also

I have had a 211 liberator and recently sold a powerquest 237 stryker. Powerquest was an awesome boat for the money but I would like to try a cat or a classic offshore boat. So if you had $20,000 cash would you go in debt and get that awesome boat that will blow everyones mind or...:evilb:

What would you do????:party-smiley-004:

Pantera 24, I know where you can get one with a 250EFI outboard for around $13,000 complete with trailer.

x2,I would add to this, that the cost of renovation or getting an older one back in shape can be offset with buying one not so old.

What kind of truck do you have? You'll need a full 1-Ton for that - and SHOULD have a dually..... TRUST me on that one....

OH - and it looks REAL tired/neglected; it would not make a good entry into the performance world.
