Hi all, I've been a lurker here for awhile now. I am currently boat shopping and have a few questions/direction.

What I'm looking for is a sub 25k boat that can tote the family (4) and can run in the mid 50s to mid 60s mph. I'm open to suggestions. Used or New it don't matter to me. Fuel econ matters a little, not going to worry about it too much, but I'm also not looking for a 502ci gas hog either. Boat size I'm open to 18 to 23ft as the largest I'd prefer to go.

I've had some price quotes on the sea doo speedster/challenger jet boats in the 26-28k range but not 100% sold on a jet drive boat. Opinions on these?

Water I'll be riding in is rivers and lakes... 1-3 chop at worst. Lake Michigan would be the biggest lake but don't plan to visit often or maybe not at all depending on my boat I pick up.

Thanks for any help. :cheers:
