OK, final (?) decision time. I am looking for the winter time deal on a surf boat. First time boat owner with crew of 5 to 9. and like everyone, a good surf wave. I have spent a ton of time reviewing old postings. I also appreciate everyone's replies to my previous emails. Here are the candidates:
02 Malibu LSV Sunscape. 436 Hours. Overall good condition. No ballast or PP. $22k.
06 Tige 24Ve. 360 Hours. OK shape but has a few cosmetic issues. Represented as mechanically sound. $29k
06 Enzo. 490 hours. Run out shows it half at idle, although I assume that to be normal. Stress cracks around some of the screw holes. One big scratch on one side. Perfect pass and ballast. Interior in good condition. Looks to be clean in the lockers. Dealer recently serviced the engine, plugs, wires, impeller, and more but cant recall. $25k.
So, after many months of searching it boils down to these three. Looking for a boat that is reliable and surfs well. That is my budget. If you see anything else out there let me know. I am ready to pull the trigger.
