Looking to get a pleasure/ ski boat. Want to keep it at $30,000 or less.

What local dealer would you guys suggest? I'd rather aquire local than at bass pro but will look at that option too..

Will be giving it away as part of a raffle/ drawing so I am just trying to figure out we're to shop since I'm a kayaker and not a motorboater.

Thanks. And no, I'm not trying to sell tickets on here

I would recommend boats unlimited but I don't believe they sell Ski boats.

Thanks. Not looking for a "dedicated"ski boat. Just a standard pleasure boat that can pull a skier/tuber if desired.

Will call them.

You will probably do much better used...

FYI, my neighbor upgraded his Chaperral and is selling his 25'. Couple of years old with a cabin and I think he is looking for ~$35k. It might be a little big for skiing all the time. The cockpit is pushed a little forward to give more room in the back. It is very similar to this, but without the radar arch and it has a cabin...

No, no, no...

The removed the factory spark plugs from our boat and replaced them with aftermarkets (spark plugs had serial numbers and were matched to the motor.) The boat was brought somewhere else for service and it was discovered. They lost the ability to sell that manufacturer's boats over it...

Those plugs were something like $75 each, they put cheap non marine plugs in...
