Welcome phishinphan.

I can only say that we wish we would have purchased a boat sooner vs later. As a family, we would have been better buying a used boat sooner instead of waiting till we could afforded a new boat. You might just check the "Classifieds" on this site for ideas.

We love our 2005 210CC, and I honestly believe that the factory has made improvments each year, BUT, with the modifications you can make yourself to these boats, you can almost make yours like a new model if not better than a new model. Just read what owners have done.

Again, welcome, and good luck with your search. You might also reveal more about your goals with a boat, how you might use it, kids, etc. Might give others ideas to get back to you.
