I am looking for a new boat to replace my 06' Glastron GX185 which I am very dissatisfied with. I am considering several possibilities, but knowing very little about boats, I am hoping for some insight from people with experience.
My needs are probably similar to most boaters. My 3 children are all 5-8 years old and are just learning to kneeboard, but I expect will be skiing and wakeboarding in a few years and I don't want to upgrade again just because I didn't do the research. I am always out with 20+ people so 10-12+ seating capacity is a must and most of my boating is in shallow lakes in Alberta which has been giving me headaches with my current boat.
I seem to have problems with my current I/O (always fixing props and some bushings keep going in the steering mechanism) and would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of direct drive and Jet (Yamaha).
Manufacturers I have been considering (so far)
- Malibu Wakesetter 23LSV or 23 XTi
- Mastercraft X-Star
- Centurion Enzo SV240
- Tige' RZ4
- Yamaha AR230 High Output
I know this is a big topic and there are other boats worth looking at so even links to reviews and/or comparisons would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
