I'd definately do option 2. 150k will get you plenty of boat to do what you want. Talk to Brett at Performance Boat Brokerage.
My choices and and not in any specific order.
Will run 90 and is dialed in

Should run 85-86 when its dialed in
http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o38378-en.html
Should run 90+
http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o42101-en.html
Should run 85-87ish
http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o34351-en.html
Will run 90-92
http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o41684-en.html
All are under your 150k budget with room for any upgrades or customizations that you would like.

Buying a 40 Skater, in my opinion is an investment. A huge one, considering they cost more than alot of houses...
I've seen enough of them in person, and talked to their owners, and its crazy how much money per/year they spend to run and maintain those beautiful machines.... All the 40 Skaters i've seen in the classifieds are well over 150k..

I have 2 options:
1. Trade my 3 month old Sea Ray cruiser on a 40ft Skater
2. Keep my cruiser (which I like) and spend $150,000 on a performance boat.
I won't be doing any boating until May so I have some time. Option 1 I can do anytime and the deal is "done". I just have to say "yes"
Option 2 may be the smarter thing to do since this is my first go fast boat and probably keeps my family happier.
I have lost plenty of money on toys and hobbies over the past few years so I would expect to find a bargain now. I have time to search and make real offers (have cash).
This would not be a boat I would expect to keep more than a few years so I don't want anything that is off brand or going to be hard to move. I do expect to lose money when I sell it. As we all know, this is a hobby not an investment.
Thanks for the advice in advance!
