Hello everyone,
I am currently boat shopping and would like your opinion on a couple of boats I am looking at. I want a boat so that my boys and I can fish some but also take my wife joy riding when she wants to go (she will not fish).
Boat #1 - it is a 1989 19' Swan Point that is great condition and has a 1987 Yamaha 150 2 stroke V6 (I have a post in the engine section about this motor) and the motor has been well maintained. Overall this boat is in great condition, a few seats, GPS, Depth finder, radio for 7000.00
Boat #2 is a 1989 19' Bayliner Center Console with a 2004 Tohatssu Motor 115 HP and very low hrs. This motor has been well maintained also. The boat and motor on this boat are in great condition as well. It also has GPS, depth finder, radio but has a few more cushions and 2 covers.
I know I have to decide which is going to be better for what I want to use it for, my question is this. If both boats were could be used to satisfy myself (well more so my wife) which would you as a more experienced boater rather have, which would you feel more comfortable with?
