Gents,
I'm in the Market this Show season to buy a New or New to me boat. This will not be my first boat, I Have had my current boat (17' 79 Invader) for about 10 years. It has reached retirement age, and my family has outgrown it.
I recently was introduced to Jet boats, and honestly I didn't even know they existed. I was all set looking for a pre-owned V-drive, wake-board setup boat. After doing a lot of research I've now decided to go with a jet-boat.
For me the 2 main reasons for the switch were; 1) Safety, 2) price versus value
Where I'm at now is deciding on going with a 1-3 year old preowned or gettting a New one. I will be attending all my Boat shoes this Fall/winter to try and get a good deal on some left over inventory 2011's.
The models I am most interested in are the Wake board or Sport models. And the 21' seems to fall into my price point. I really like the Sea-doo 210 wake and SP, and the discontinued Yamaha 212X. I want to avoid the Superchargers if I can, but not a deal breaker if the price is right. I favor the Wake for the ballast system, tower speakers and board racks, but the SP for the color.... I want at least a 2010 for the Transat seating in the back...by wife love's that (should read....will have it). I also like the new single throttle instead of the doubles..but that mainly because what im used too...and that perfect pass or ITC sounds like a godsend...
What are your guys thoughts, should I pick up a used 2010 (what would be a good price?) or try to get a good deal on a left over 2011's ( price?) or possibly a 2012? Any opinions are welcome.
Thanks
Jeremy
