The Chap 183 would be one of my top picks for an 18. Prices are hard to pin down. For shopping purposes I would check this Chap against the Ebbtide 180 and Sea Ray 185.<br /><br />Also, the same budget might cover a 19 with less name to it. Such as the Ebbtide 190, Maxum 1900, or Rinker 192.<br /><br />Here are some more threads on the 183 -<br /><br /> Chap 183SS at PDX show <br /><br /> Chaparral 183 SS or Four Winns Horizon 190? <br /><br />Get test rides if you can,<br />Kelly Cook
