Looking for a 23'+ 2000 or newer used boat

[Outnumbered]

I'm looking to replace the Old Lavey 21' with a newer and bigger ride. Looking for something with a good 23'+V-hull with a lot of free-board. I have a boat lined up with a seller but want a plan "B" in case it does not pan out. Anybody have anything up there sleeve? BTW, $45k is my max.
Thanks

I'm not familiar with the Dana line.....how much is that boat new set up just like you have it? Looks like a nice ride.

I would have to say $58 or $59k, as I have the upgraded 496H0, Dana Tabs and Dana Hinges. Also spent some $$ upgrading the trailer lights to LED's and the stereo system is almost another $7k, all high-end JL Audio.
The buyer of this boat could literally run her for the nxt (2) years and sell her for almost what they paid for her today. I will be taking the hit, not the new owner.

Its not the price on your boat its the free-board. I'm looking for something more ilke a Lavey NuEra, Eliminator Eagle, or Shockwave Tremor. The 23' Dana seems like a pretty low-profile boat. I know these are all more $$ but the right deal may come along. There are a ton of boats for sale and they are taking months to sell. Someone has got to be in a hurry sooner or later.
Thanks

Looks and freeboard can sometimes be deceiving. I have been in some pretty dicey conditions in both Havasu and Powell and never once took on water from anywhere on the boat.

Thanks but I am pretty firm on that price cap. $13k more is a big jump.

How'd you like to save $17K?

I have seen the Nordic Scandia for that price, 25' very deep it was before the rage.

[Outnumbered]

go over to LVHB and check out troublemakers 28 eag 40 tho $,i'll go bring it to the top :D
Thanks. I saw that boat. Too many things I don't want: Was a little too old, too big (we like to ski and wake), closed bow, and its blown. Not sure of the insurance $$ on that.

Oh man Nashville, I love your boat and would take it in a heartbeat for $45k but I know that will never happen. Insurance on that boat has got to be pretty bad in AZ or CA.

If I am not mistaken we are paying under $900 a year still. $45, uh no. As much as your family I would need a tad more than that. I can get you financed for the whole thing if you want....whats an extra $35 a month??
Come on slim...you can do it!!! Who's the boss in that family anyways and why is SHE??? lol....jk.

OL,
I just sent you a pm.

We (wife and I) started this discussion with, "well, we can spend about $35k and get a decent used boat 21-23 v-hull newer etc". Now its up to $45k and pusing $50 something. I'm not a big time player and like to live as debt-free as possible, so financing a boat goes against my instict. But we may make an exception this time around. I actually found a boat and should have it by the end of next week. I just don't want to jinx the deal so I will keep it quiet for now.
Thanks

Good luck with it. If it falls through you can always fall back on mine and suffer through it. I am in the mood to move mine for the $50's.... as much as I will probably regrett it.

Remember--the Rage is the boat that looks just like the Scandia but is much faster and never porpoises.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Nice lookin' boat, congrats !!!!!!!!
No HO, but oh well...
You might want to check with Whipple as they offer a "reprogram" of your ECM that could kick things up quite a bit and probably get you more than an HO.
