I am in the initial stages of looking for a new boat. Right now, I am in the 10-15k range. I would like something with a 200 or 225 pushing it. I would also like it with the ladder on the back. I am not sure if Triton created that future or not. An extra wide deck is a plus so I don't have to dance with my seat and chance falling overboard...that ladder would come in handy. I am torn between a single and dual console. Single has so much more room so I think I would go with a single this time around. Last thing is it has to have hydraulic steering. The last one I had '96 Champ did not have it.
What do you guys think? Send me your recommendations and anything I might have missed. I am looking for Year Make and Model if possible. Looking forward to hearing from you all.
Thanks!

I sent you a P.M.
There was a nice Champion listed on the forum not too long ago that was going for $15000. If I didn't already have one, I would have bought it.
BD ;D
Whatever you do, make sure you drive the boat before you buy it. Take it to a lake that will allow you to really run it, so you can be sure there are no high speed problems like I had.
If River Rat's Champion is still up for grabs, I would check on that if I were you. A buddy of mine just bought one, and it rides like a dream. Handles big water really nice too.
I could have helped you out a week ago or if this was in the "boat for sale" section... Good luck, sir.

I am toying with the idea of selling my 2005 Legend LE-195 this winter. It will be in the 15-19K range w/ a 175 Evinrude DI on it. Great boat with hardly any hours on it.
I should have posted earlier. I just purchased a Triton TR20 about a month ago.
Pictures ???
I knew someone was going to ask :) I will get them tonight and put them on here. I have to say, I love the single console. I think that is my favorite thing about the boat.
Lucky for you, you will never have to ride on the passenger side! ;D Congrats on the new rig!
Bare with me, the pictures are coming soon...
