I am high on the SeaRay 185 and 195 Sport models. My local dealer has offered me the following and I wanted to get your opinions.
He has several 2007 185 models of various colors, all with the 4.3L Alpha I MCM Sterndrive, all with single axle trailers. All @ $23,500.
He has 2 2006 195 models (black or red), both with the 4.3L Alpha I MCM Sterndrive, both with dual axle trailers. Both @ $23,500.
Questions:
1) Towing - My car, a Chrysler Pacifica, is rated at 3,500. The 185 will is approx 3,500, the 195 is approx 3,800. Will I be OK with the 195?
2) Year - Would I be making a mistake with going with a 2006 vs 2007? Especially considering that the 2008s are coming soon.
My preference would be to take the 195 (slightly longer/wider). But the towing and year issues are concerning me.
The only other boats that are currently under consideration are the Chaparral SSi 180 and the Four Winns Horizon 180. While I am in a SeaRay forum and can anticipate your responses, any thoughts on the Chap/FW/SR competition?
Thank you, John
