the ride is drier (full windshield) than mine, and smoother (I have the smaller individual windshields)
I plan on putting mine up for sale in the spring after fixing a few minor things, couple gel coat chips and new rivets in some hatch hinges, looking for 15k for mine, carpet is worn and it has been fished out of a lot, not as much the last couple of years.
really want bigger to haul grands and wife and kids.
more room, newer bigger motor etc , etc, etc,.
and NO WAY am I buying new!!!
looking at used boats in the 2002-2008 range
but need to sell mine first.
but my vote goes to the 620 ranger , perfect all around boat with the best ride.
am sure that size boat in warrior or stratos or nitro or whatever would be similar ride.
if I hit the lotto I will buy new
John,

With boat prices I couldn't agree more for thinking that way about buying new,there was a time I said people are crazy spending that kind of money and a year ago I ended up buying a new boat now I'm looking to do the same, I guess all I can say is easy to get sucked into the new boat thing

For me this is about all I do and if I didn't I would spend it doing other things

My 1st Chevy Truck I paid around 9,000 new and I tell my self I would never buy new again ,we'll let's just see how that thought goes,lol
