Hi,
New to the forum. I am looking getting a sundeck for the family. Currently, I have twin 5 yr old boys and a 2 year old daughter. Wife did not say "yes", but also did not say no!
So looking around locally - Richmond, VA I see a 1999 210 for 11.5K, 2001 190 for 13.5k. They look like the perfect boat for my family with still the ability to take another family or the grandparents. I am leaning to 21-22' size. The potty is a must for the wife!
Not worried on towing - I have a 7.3 diesel excursion (tow my CJ7 on a 10k trailer I have)
One question is really around engines - what were the options? carb? FI? (if FI, then TB vs. MPI?) Should I step up to a slightly newer for a better engine?
I am comfortable in the 10-15k range - I could delay the purchase and wait for a 2002 or slightly newer to come down in price. Waiting for my daughter to get older is not a bad thing - she is a handful at this age!!
Use would be day trips on the James river, York river, Lake Anna and some of the chesapeake bay.
Any insight? advice?
Thanks,
Joe
