Hey snapmorgan, When you are making a significant purchase like a high performance boat, the total cost of ownership should be considered. Most of the boats you have mentioned are well suited to your needs. My opinion is to try and avoid regional or "trendy" manufacturers or designs. Also, while Ilmor's may be good, limited parts availability issues and the cost to maintain and service a Viper power plant will be higher than a BB Chevy. The resale value of a brand like Cigarette, O/L, Fountain, Donzi etc. may also be a consideration. It is delusional to call our purchases "investments", however less of a beating, and a rapid sale the next time around is a nice perk! Just my thoughts Bud!
