Thanks. A friend of a friend has decided to sell his Sea Ray 175. Always dry docked and stored inside, great condition and it has a 4.3 Merc. I can get it for around $6k and I think I may hook up, I don't know a ton about boats but it seems like a good deal.I've had a Sea Ray Sundeck for about 3 years and have had no trouble with it, at all. Nice all-purpose setup, with room for the kids to run around, plenty of comfort features, and quite suited for pulling skiers/boarders/tubes. The only problem I've come across is getting to and staying at a "perfect" speed when wakeboarding. Sea Ray also makes some smaller, more affordable boats like a 175/185 Sport. I think they start in the mid-$20s.
