My wife and I are looking to get a boat for boarding & surfing, and we're shooting for 45k and under. I've been doing a bit of research, and I realize that most (if not all) the boats in that price range won't have a dedicated surf system. So we're aware we'll have to list the boat and/or use a addon surfgate.
Our usage will likely be 80/20 wake and surf. Otherwise it will just be the family boat for us and the kids.
This boat will likely be upgraded in the next 3-5 years, so resale is also something I'm factoring in. We're also not completely apposed to spending a bit more and financing a little, but I'm not sure we'd really want to do more than 60k total. If there are good arguments for it, we're willing to consider it.
Any boats I should be considering in particular? I've seen recommendations for Malibu LSV's and Supra SSV's. But I don't have any personal experience with those.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
