I?m looking for a nice used Crownline bowrider?something around 21?-23? with v8 power. I was something that will handle rough lake chop, hold 6-8 people comfortably, and still have enough power to pull a skier or wakeboarder out of the water when the boat is full of people and gear. I?m an outboard guy?.I don?t have much experience with inboard/outboard boats. What models should I be looking at? I don?t want to go any older than a 2003. Can I get away with a small v8 like a 5.0, or should I look for a 5.7 as minimum? Also, what about outdrives?.should I look for a Bravo 1 or Bravo 3, or will the Alpha 1 be ok? What kind of hours are OK on a used boat, and at what point should I start shying away from a boat based on it?s hours?
Just trying to educate myself.
