Welcome to iboats csharpo! Any more details about the two boats in question would be quite helpful. The interceptor 212 and Sea Ray 190 are quite a bit different in "styles" for bowriders. The Caravelle is more of the go fast boat styling while the Sea Ray is more traditional. What engines are in these? Are you leaning in one direction and why? Again, welcome to iboats.com!

They both have a 5.0 mercruiser. The Sea Ray is EFI not sure about the Caravelle. The Sea Ray has about 150 hours and the Caravelle about 90 hours. I haven't road in either both but like the looks of the Caravelle. Buying a boat for my teenage son and me. Thanks

If the Caravelle does not have EFI, that would tilt the selection toward the Sea Ray. And, since the Sea Ray is smaller, it would be easier to garage. But I think running the Caravelle Interceptor would be more grins. Both are reasonable choices.
