Cruiser Time?

[Schiada Time]

I know I have talked about this before ( this is Hot Rod hallet) but I think this year I am ready to jump into a bigger boat. My girlfriend and her daughter are boating more on Mead now and getting our asses handed to us in my '19 Hallett bubble deck. I have started looking for a suitable cruiser replacement and have a few ides of what I want but the age old question remains-Jet or V-drive? We would still like to boat the river.
These are the boats I am considering:
Spectra 20-Jet
Howard '21 Cruiser- V-Drive
Hallett 18 mini Cruiser-Jet
DiMarco 21 crusier-V-drive
Hallett 21 cruiser-Jet or V-drive
Eliminator 20-Jet or V-drive
I know all these boats are solid built boats but would like to get a few opinions.
By the time I sell my Hallett and show truck my budget will be between $15,000-16,000.
Thanks in advance for your input.

What about a Cole 20.5?

[Schiada Time]

check out the kachina on ebay in the jet boats section. It's my friend and is a turn key boat

Your Hallet is all dialed-in so you can just turn the key and go but its highly likely that any of these boats you are looking at purchasing will need work. You prepared to swing wrenches on another boat? Besides that, i can't believe you are going to sell the Red Rocker already. It's a great truck man.
