Hi Folks!
I am looking for some input from experienced boaters. I am new to boating and have been reading up on it; my neighbours all own boats so I know that opinions are plentiful, but nevertheless...
I am looking for a bowrider and selection in general is limited where I am (Maritimes, Canada). I have a family of four (altogether) so we are looking for something that will comfortably move 8 (friends and us)... here is what I have so far - listed in order of preference:
2004 208 Si Monterey Bowrider - 200 hrs, 5L Merc - extended swimming platform and other options
2011 Stingray Bowrider 185LS - 3L Merc (unsure of hours) - has 3 years warranty remaining
2007 Seaswirl 175 Bowrider - about 120 hours - 3.0 Volva Penta
2005 Glaston 195 SX - 20 hours - Volvo Penta GL
2003 Campion 645 - 200 hours - 4.3 Merc
Thanks!
