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.

I know that this is just penny's compaired to what some of you guys have invested in this sport but here it is. I have $20,000 cash to buy an offshore boat. 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...
What would you do????

with 20k cash your going to be hard pressed to get into anything over 24ft unless its really old. Even old boats arent that cheap unless they need a lot of work. But You can find Formulas, Baja's, checkmates that are 24-29ft in that price range. I have never seen a fountain, cig, hustler for that cheap regardless of age.

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.

I bought a 91 Fountain 29ft fever last year for under 30. But I wouldnt have touched if they the interior hadnt been replaced and the engines rebuilt.
