2014 Tahoe q7i extreme or 2012 sea Ray 205 sport

[Kbei30]

First time boat buyer seeking opinions on either boat. I'm down to these 2 options. Thoughts assuming the engine hours and price are nearly the same??

How well was each maintained? What size engines?

On the spec sheet, they're nearly identical. The searay is a bit heavier but by very little. The searay also has 37 gallon fuel tank vs 35 but 2 gallons is basically 20-30 minutes of fuel on the boat so not a big difference either.

Is the 2014 q7i dealer overstock and brand new?

The Tahoe has 20 hours on it the SeaRay has 100. Tahoe 260 hp SeaRay 220. I've never really heard of Tahoe

260hp is nicer for a 3000+ pound boat. Have you seen them in person? Where the owners knowledgeable about the boat/maintenance or did ask they know is how to start it and use the throttle?

The Tahoe has 20 hours on it and was never sold before. The SeaRay has 1 owner and all the service records. How do you feel about Tahoe vs sea Ray ?

I have a 2006 model Tahoe Q6. They are made by Tracker Marine (Bass Pro Shops). The Q7 is what replaced the Q6. Same size boats. They are not anywhere near top tier boats but I have found them to meet my needs. I just noticed that you are looking at a Q7i with the Extreme Package. I would go with the Tahoe.
