Default Done with cars, Boat Suggestions.

I am done with cars for a little while now, probably over a year. Selling my truck, parting out the Bimmer, getting a new job. I plan to have about 3500$. Would like to buy a boat, I wont get in as much trouble, girls are already mostly naked, etc. I have a lot of time to work on this, just not a lot of money. Does anyone have any suggestions? 22 feet or less is what the tow vehicle is going to handle. Vee, Cat, etc, would like at least a 4 seater.

Thanks,
Tommy

What is your situation with the Baja? Is it kinda dads boat and you want your own, or are you just tired of it and wanting something different?

Hmm. Sounds like Hyper has lost his license. Now that didn't last long ....

I don't know Tommy with only 3500 you might just want to find a guy with a cool boat and buy him gas.

You might be able to pick up a older Wellcraft or Stingray for cheap those were my first two brands.

I bought this when i was 19. 1984 Scarab I 21ft 350/Alpha. I payed 7k with a trailer. I have seen them out there near your price range. Also there is a Chappareal Villain 21 also that is nearly the same boat.

yeah i'd tend to think that with $3500 to spend your not gonna be able to pickup a boat that will run faster than our dad's

maybe buy an old bayliner with a 4 banger and drop a 454 in it or someting.....
