Buying new boat... have some questions??

[Learo2000]

Well I went to the Seatlle boat show to just have a look see, and it looks like I may be buying a new boat..... IT will be used in the Puget Sound.....<br /><br />Campion 542 sc with a suzuki 140 O/B http://www.campionboats.com/explorer/542.htm <br /><br />Does anyone have any comments either way on this boat or boats that I should also look into. We were looking at the Trophy as well, but this boat just seemed to have so much more quality features, and was a good mix between a utility boat with extra seating and features.. I signed the paper work, but it is not legal binding (or so they say).. I am going to test drive it this weekened and see what they will give me for my trade in. any comments would be great.. thanks Doug

That is a nice boat. If you are going to really go do it hard, then go for a Whaler. Whalers are nice and I have one. I like those kind of boats that you are looking at to. Those are nice. Thanks<br /><br />JAZZ

depends on what you'll use it for. i think the 140 will be sufficient, but don't expect to win races. looks like a good boat to cruise on and do some skiing/tubing. maybe a little fishing. cutty seems like a waste to me, it has to be small being on a 20 footer. but it's all in what you want. good luck-

Thanks for the info... I would like a whaler as well... but I think they are out of my price range....... <br /><br />We will mostley use it for cruzing the sound, some fishing, crabing and relaxing... sound is to cold most of the time for tubbing.....yeh the cuddy si a bit small, but will be good to use for the potty, and the dogs can take a nap in it.....<br /><br />any other comments would be great.. thanks Guys
