Re: HELP! Looking for a 20' Bowrider under $30K
SeaRay and Glastron are both great boats, so long as the boat has been cared for. It sounds like you have boated before, so I have no issues giving you my list of the best for me, mind you this is by no means anything other then the type of bowriders I like best, sporty lines multiple power and outdrive options and high end quality.
Cobalt
Chaparral
Crownline*
Glastron
Monterrey
I'm sure I am forgetting a few, and I own a Crownline so I am biased, you can go with a new boat but you are likely to get more for your money by going gently used, only you know what is best for you, my Crownline is within your budget and was a $50,000 boat when new but your looking a fair bit smaller then I was, but it does speak to the value of going gently used/meticulously cared for.
