I really could use some help on this one. I've had my first boat for about 3 years now. It's a real beater, not worth fixing up, but I've used it nearly every weekend since I got it. So I am now ready to get something a little better.
I have come across 2 used boats that I am interested in. Here is the dilemma:
'95 17' Key West 1720 with beautiful looking '97 Johnson 90 SPL.
or
'94 19' Key West with original '93 Zuke DT 150.
My current boat has an '87 Johnson 90 and I really love the reliability and simplicity of design. So enginewise, I lean towards that 1720. But that boat looks like it was made for Shriners, it's tiny! I think the 19' will be a much nicer ride, but I have heard next-to-nothing about the reliability of older Zukes. I am just absolutely not able to decide between these two boats and could really use some help.
Thanks in advance,
-Jeff
