Boat Search Challenge

[Downforce6]

Some of you my have seen, I am new and have been looking for a boat to buy.

Prefer a 17-19' Runabout, Bowrider but could be interested in Cuddy. Prefer at least 150 HP for Lake Ozark. I would like to spend $4500 max, but $3500 would be better, but I'll spend the $4500 for a great boat. I have $5000 basically burning a hole in my pocket and cant find a boat to buy, lol.

I live 20 miles north of Columbia , MO. Lake Ozark and Mark Twain Lake are very close, but I'd drive up to 150 maybe 200 miles to look at the right boat.

This is the boat i want to buy, but it has the 3.7 Mercruiser 470 and everyone says its overpriced. http://stjoseph.craigslist.org/boa/3008368698.html

Anyone know of or can find a better deal? I think im driving to Lake Ozark in the morning to look around, but i figure this is a good place to put out some feelers,

Thanks!

Re: Boat Search Challenge

I like that first one, gonna check it out.

The others, Meh I;d seen the IMP it doesnt look too bad but i dunno, dont like the rear seating.


Those other three boats, think i'd buy the stingray first, I do like the VIP tho, that does look like it could possibily be a winner.

Thanks!
