Everyone's opinon wanted

If i were you I would look into something new as to finding something used for that money. Only for the fact that you can still get all manuf. warranties. If you get something new, and get a Mercury they are, or were, offering a 5yr warranty. I recently purchased a 07 Triton TR186 that was left over in inventory. 5 yr warranty on engine, 3yr on boat, lifetime on hull, 5 yr on motorguide digital tm. I have rode in about ever boat. Ranger and Triton are real close to the best you can buy. In my opinion skeeter is right behind triton. I would steer away from a Nitro. They are not the best riding boats unless you get into the larger Z series. As does the gelcoat seam to start cracking earlier than most boats the same age. Just my two cents worth.
