Looking to spend 20k to 30k
This is my first boat but the family has a 23' stingray w/ 454
that I've used a lot (speedo says 72 but its never been run w/ gps).
and grew up on an 18' sea ray (1985 and still kicken strong)
I've built many sbcs & bbcs for cars so i can work on the engines but i'm looking for something small enough to ski/wakeboard ok but will still hit high 60s low 70s when the need for speed hits (gotta be able to keep up with pops).
Model suggestions would be nice
i like the donzi 22 zx but i don't know if i should get a stepped hull or not
baja's look good but seem to be slow for their hp.
I would like the boat to have either a V berth or be a bow rider... the boats with just bow storage are un-acceptable.
Also it will be used on lake Norman which is a pretty choppy lake but little to no salt water use.
Thanks in Advance gentlemen
