After a bit more soul searching I have narrowed my interest to the late 90s 290 or early 2000 280 dancer. I would like to stay around or under 40k.
The 280 seems hugely popular. Modern styling, fairly economical and has some bigger cruiser style niceties.
The 290 also interests me, but it seems to get little attention.
The 280 would be a slightly larger initial investment in up front cost, but would be more economical to operate from a fuel consumption stand point.
Right now I'm looking for a do all boat. Something I can handle alone if I want to head out fishing. Something that can occasionally pull a tube. Something that a family of 4 with young children can spend an occasional weekend on. Finally, something large enough to take a couple families out swimming for the day. Say, 4 adults and 4 kids.
I know this is a tall order, but with enough patience I think it can be a reality.
Anyone with either of these boats care to chime in?
Any reasons the 290 seems to draw little attention?
Thanks for your time.
