Hello All,
This is my 1st post and I could really use some input.
I'm in the process of looking for a used V-Drive. My last boat was a 1990 Malibu Euro F3. It was a pretty good first boat and we definitely got some great use out of it. We sold it last year with the intention of upgrading and now it's time to pull the trigger.
I've only ridden behind a one V-Drive, it was a MC X-30 and it was a very nice boat. I'm not biased towards any one brand and am open to looking at all boats.
Here's my needs.
I want to spend no more than $27,000.000, I have cash, so I'm hoping to have room to negotiate.
I want a boat large enough for my family, there's 4 of us and enough room for friends to come and play, ideally large enough to seat 10 comfortably.
I'd like a boat that's 21'-23' long and 100" beam or less.
I'd like a good all around boat for wakeboarding, surfing and some skiing.
I want a boat that will last for a while and won't need to upgrade in 2 or 3 years. Build quality is important and I don't want to be working on it more than I'm using it.
Here's what we have been looking at so far.
2002 - 2004 Malibu LSV's
2002 - 2005 Centurion Avalanches
I haven't seen any Tige's or Moomba's yet and I think MC might be out of my price-range.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I know there are a lot of boat owners who have tons of experience.
Thanks,
-Tom
