Help me pick my next boat....

In the next year I hope to make some changes on the boat front.

We currently have 2 boats: 05 28' Sleek Enforcer and a 01 23' Tritoon

We have recently decided that we are going to move the Sleek down the road. Its just too much boat (storage,wipe down,etc...) for where we want to be right now. Picked up a great little tritoon from vic a couple years back and the family loves it. Truth be told we have used it 10x more than our sleek in that time frame.....The big boat is just a pain with the kids these days.

The problem with the toon is it is great for the family but sucks to drive. I'm talking 28 mph set on kill;):D

When the Big boat hits the bricks I will want to sell the toon and parle the $$$ into one boat that will work for the family and still be fun to drive.

Looking to pay cash (say 20K)

needs to be under 23'

Needs to handle the water on Parker even on the biggest weekend safely

Lets say 60 mph+

Needs to be I/O

Needs to hold 8+ people

needs to be a good manufactuer that builds good boats that will last

I'm thinking a walk through open bow?

What boats should I be looking at?

Newer pontoon big outboard 55mph

I have always liked the Hallett 210-S Open Bow...just don't know if you could pick one up for $20,000. Here's the perfect boat for you. You just need to add to your budget. ;)

20k;)

Newer toons are nice and with a 350 v8 would be a ton better to drive but there is not going to be much in my price range that are not ragged out.

Thats a contender.....They seem to be in the 18-25K range depending on motor and year built.

I have never ridden in a 210 I wonder if it will have enough freeboard? (3 small kids)

Oh 20k maybe hallett

I kind of like this one with the scorppion motor...be a good all around family deal.

I'm hoping to land in a 210 in the next year or so. I'm gonna be jealous if you get a 210 before me

That would be my first choice for sure and I'll be trying to find one myself this winter only closed bow.

Hard to beat the quality of Hallett and great resale.

Why don't you put up some pictures of the 05 28' Sleek Enforcer and a 01 23' Tritoon with some pricing. Maybe you will get some interest.

There's one in our condo complex at the river with a jet. I haven't talked with him yet but he must be running some big power since the boat sounds awesome coming into our marina.

Not ready yet I will have it serviced and detailed before I list it...probably list in the 48K range

Toon will probably be listed for 15k

2 things come to mind:

1 - You're going to have to put more skin in the game. $20k isn't going to get you what you are looking for.
2 - $48k for that Sleek won't happen. At that price you are about 15k high to move it.

210's are really nice I've had 4 the open bow walk through is perfect foe a family,,,

with a little seat time you will find they really handle the ruff well..

the best parker boat to me would be the 240 walk through...

next the 210

I think your wrong on both accounts but thats why I love you...lol

I'm not looking for a gem....

33K for a 28' boat with a 496ho big stereo and 200 hours. I think i'm 5K high but i need to create some wiggle room. Used market has come back pretty good in the last year.

No way no how would I move it at that price....I will sell the toon for etail $$ and use the sleek...lol

Cool Sleek...I know that Bruce Nescher didn't build it but it reminds me of him. What a cool guy.
