Budget Boat Recommendations

[tunafoot]

Im currently in a 2001 Malibu 21' VLX and Im looking to upgrade. I'd like to see what boat everyone would recommend at $10K price point intervals. Base the recommendations based on half surf and half wakeboard. It would be great if you could include the year and models from any manufacturer.

$20K - 99-01 Super Air Nautique 210
$30K - 07-08 Nautique SV-211
$40K - 08-13 Malibu 23' LSV or 02-08 Nautique 210
$50K - 08-10 Nautique 230
$60K - 12-15 Axis A24 or AxisT23
$70K
$80K
$90K 13-15 Super Air G23

You should put the SV-211 in the mid-30s pricepoint.

I am pretty happy with mt 08 210

That’s pretty open ended. You can find a 210 from 15k-100k... might be better to make this chart based on length of boat alone.

This is a great idea.

How do the categories work? is 20k, under 20k or 20k to 30k

$20K is anything under $20K. $30K would be anything between $20K and $30K...

Spend the money and do it right the first time. The 210 had a hull change in 2007 . The 07-13 hull is the same on the 210 .

my vote is any vintage of that hull if you can swing it or if you need /want the space the 230 is the king.

yep, too many variables. you can't just ask what people recommend at $10k intervals. depends on length you need, how your gonna use, and so much more variables. too many variables. if you want to ignore all variables the best boat is the newest 210 you can afford...end of report..

You are exactly on price target with your list above for what the boat actually sales for. Asking price is completely different.
