Welp I've finally put a few pennies together and am looking to buy something to float on this summer.
There are several Chris Craft Capers available right now but they are all in the NE, and I am in Dallas. I'm not going to pay $1500 to ship a $4k boat.. Fail.
So my budget is $4k or so.. Could go a tiny bit higher. Obviously I'm not looking for an Eliminator Daytona or anything.
What I do seek is :
- Closed bow
- 15' to 20' or so...
- i/o or outboard - either is fine.
- something sporty LOOKING at least.. no family boats.
- speed is not important other than being able to reach 55mph
- reliable...
Some boats that I like: Glastron Carlson, CC Caper (of course), older Baja Sport models, Scarab 1, Chaparral Villain, Donzi z21, Progression/Concept (center console sport), Scarab Sprint IO model, etc..
Not interested in hydrostream or checkmate as I dont wanna deal with recoring, etc.. I don't mind a little work - but dont wanna have to split the boat to tear the whole inside apart because the thing is rotten....
Would love to hear from anyone that has something they fit might meet my needs.
Also - the boat needs to be within 400 miles of Dallas.
Thanks!!!!
