Need Advice on What Boat is Better! (newbie here)

[Flukinicehole]

I like the fact the Sea Ray looks to be stored indoors, that is a big bonus. As for the engine? I would take the 4.3 V6 over the 5.0 V8 any day of the week. I would take both for a ride but if they both checked out good I would choose the Sea Ray.

Did not buy the Ebbtide so my search continues. The consenus here is that that the bigger engine the better which is what I agree with. I will be using the boat for pleasure and watersports so a 5.0 or even a 5.7 make sense. This is my first time buying a boat so I guess the next hurdle to get over is getting the boat on the water, is that standard when buying a used boat? Do most people get a survey too? How does this work with private sellers?

Pictures often seem to be misleading, but if the boat looks good in person, that looks like a nice candidate! Price is pretty place-dependent, but that would be reasonable in our area.
