So many people on this forum have been helpful that I wanted to ask a final question. I want to purchase a boat and I'm down to two boats and going to look at them and possibly purchase one tomorrow. I like them both but am very new to boating and would like to know what everyone's opinions were on the two boats and which boat you would rather buy, here goes:
1994 Dusky 203 (20') with T-top, leaning post, full transom with dusky drive, tim tabs. Engine is a 2001 Johnson 200hp that had the powerhead rebuilt 3 months ago and has a 1 year warranty on the rebuild. It had 300-400 hrs on the engine before the rebuild and 15 hours on it since. Boat condition is good. Asking price is $8900.
1988 Mako 21' with T-top (that includes tuna tower), leaning post, has a custom-built transom with big dive platform bracket, trim tabs. Engine is a 1999 yamaha saltwater series 200hp, with "not many" hours. Comes with 2006 Continental galvanized steel trailer. Asking price is $10,000.
Which one would you guys perfer? Which one should I get if I'm going to primarily use it nearshore in Miami and mostly for diving.
Thanks!
