Hi all!
I am new to boating and starting to do some research on a good family cruising boat. I have a pier with access to 4 ft of water and will probably be installing a boat lift. Lots of intercoastal waterways where I live. Later on, I might want to tow it to a lake for tubing/wakeboarding/swimming.
I am thinking possibly a pre-owned Searay 240/260 SD or Chaparral Sig 240/260. Willing to spend 20-30k. Any pros/cons to each?
I have read that some think the SR 240 can be a bit tippy (or unstable) in choppy waters but I have also heard that Searays have very good re-sale value. Any thoughts?
Thanks and Happy Boating!
