185 without swim platform

+1 for upsizing to a Sundeck. Who needs to store their boat in the garage anyhow. My 180 sport was OK, but I LOVE my Sundeck. So much better day boat. The smaller sport boats are ideal on smaller lakes where you are only going out to ski or wakeboard. If you plan on spending entire days on the water, you will be so much happier later with a Sundeck.

No offense intended, it is just after driving smaller boats for years and bouncing around we finally went bigger. We love the larger boat and wonder why we waited so long.

I hate compromises, so buying a boat based on garage size doesn't seem right when there are so many other storage options. I have a friend that bought a shorter boat for the same reason, added a tower, then discovered that it wouldn't go through the door with the tower (even folded down) So now he keeps it outside except for winter when the tower comes completely off.
