    2006 VIP Vegas

    Looking to get back into boat ownership. I found a 2006 VIP Vegas that looks really clean. Owner said it has not been used in 3 years, he just had it tuned up to sell it and has the paperwork. Does anyone have any feedback on this era of VIP boats? Construction methods used, durability etc?

    Chris-Craft Scorpion 210

    I have become very interested in getting an old Scorpion 210 BR to "restore" for a family boat. I really like the looks of the hull and have found a couple around. Just wondering if anyone had any input on these boats...good, bad....Most of what I find could use a paint job, I know that...
