Looking for a boat...

[Big dreams]

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.

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.

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!   Congrats on the new rig!
