I posted recently about buying a new truck. Im leaning alot more heavily toward a boat now and just staying with no car payment.
Im moving off the island and out into the country (well, to me anyway) and want a way to stay on the water. So im gonna sell the harley and buy a cabin cruiser my business partner is wanting to sell me. Its a 2003 24' chapparal that looks almost identical to the boat pictured below
The deal is too good to pass up. It sleeps 6, shower and head, propane stove, super nice depth finder, flat screen tv, great surround sound, etc
Been kind of a shitty year by most accounts and digging the idea of camping in style with chicks out on the water for several days at a time

It's probably got a piece of shite briggs and stratton I/O with bad head pressure, and I guarantee you it doesn't sleep 6.

Got a 24' black scout. Where you take your boat chef? I usually hit up daufuski or the sand bar off north tybee

I own a 16' clackacraft drift boat. It's a steelhead catching machine. Not at all similar to what you're looking at, but you asked, so.....

Nice looking boat. Are you going to moor it or trailer it?
Personally I have found renting to be a more cost effective solution than owning.
If I were going to buy I would get a sailboat, no less than 32 feet and go with a catamaran at that.
Giving up a new truck and a Harley for a boat sounds dubious to me though... But that's me.
Hope it works out great for you though.

I doubt you can afford it.

I'm up on Lanier. A ton of people have the boat you're looking at.
They love it.
I can't get over the cost of ownership (depreciation, mainly). Unless you're raping the guy who's selling it, I personally like the idea of a boat club or rental membership. It isn't cheap. But it's twice as cheap as owning.
Good luck (only pussies sell their harleys for a boat)

I'm not going to tell you what to do with your money but I can tell you this.....Boats are money pits. I can't tell you how many people buy used boats and end up never really enjoying them due to costs of fixing and maintaining them. While the appeal of the boat trumps thise knowledge most times, as someone who has not only owned used boats, but also had friends that owned used boats...I would either buy new or get the truck.
Just one guy's opinion, but I can say this, I'll never buy a used boat again
