Default Buying new boat... have some questions??

Well I went to the Seatlle boat show to just have a look see, and it looks like I may be buying a new boat..... IT will be used in the Puget Sound.....Campion 542 sc with a suzuki 140 O/B http://www.campionboats.com/explorer/542.htm Does anyone have any comments either way on this boat or boats that I should also look into. We were looking at the Trophy as well, but this boat just seemed to have so much more quality features, and was a good mix between a utility boat with extra seating and features.. I signed the paper work, but it is not legal binding (or so they say).. I am going to test drive it this weekened and see what they will give me for my trade in. any comments would be great.. thanks Doug

That is a nice boat. If you are going to really go do it hard, then go for a Whaler. Whalers are nice and I have one. I like those kind of boats that you are looking at to. Those are nice. ThanksJAZZ

depends on what you'll use it for. i think the 140 will be sufficient, but don't expect to win races. looks like a good boat to cruise on and do some skiing/tubing. maybe a little fishing. cutty seems like a waste to me, it has to be small being on a 20 footer. but it's all in what you want. good luck-

Thanks for the info... I would like a whaler as well... but I think they are out of my price range....... We will mostley use it for cruzing the sound, some fishing, crabing and relaxing... sound is to cold most of the time for tubbing.....yeh the cuddy si a bit small, but will be good to use for the potty, and the dogs can take a nap in it.....any other comments would be great.. thanks Guys
