A boating question!!! So my parents are looking to buy a boat, (I think it is a ploy to get me to hang out with them more) they virtually have NO clue when it comes to boats. They are heading off to the Pomona boat show tomorrow to take a look. I am trying to convince them not to come home with a Gayliner or a Sea Ray...
I think that a deck/pontoon boat would be the best option for them.
They are looking to spend under 30k for it....is that even possible? Does anyone have any suggestions??? THANKS!!

under $30k, buy a couple year old boat - much better off.

My sister bought a 23' Maxum deck boat last year for Arrowhead (first boat ever for her and her bf). I've not been on hers, but I checked them out at the last LA boat show. I thought they were pretty nice all told. Very versitile, enough speed to get you where you want to go, easy on easy off (important as they get less mobile) and for the most part I think they are reliable. Probably the top speed will be somewhere between 45 and 50, and I'd say closer to the 45 IMO, but the cost was not too bad. The deck boat had a porta potty, but the space could be used for storage (massive space) and had table...sink...lots of features they may be interested in.
If this is thier first boat, they should consider something pretty vanilla IMO, then move up the food chain later.

no way possible to get a custom boat for under $30k. It won't happen. If that is their price range, they are going to be limited to boats like Bayliners or Sea-Rays. I would look at buying a couple year old boat and have someone go through it and make sure that it is right. I might know a couple of people who are capable if you are interested.
