Looking for some help from your experience. Recently purchased a home in havasu and looking to upgrade our boat in the next year. With today's prices on boats I want to make sure I am 100% happy for a long time with my purchase.
Here is my dilemma. Our new place has a 7' height restriction on the garage door. It's 35' deep, but I have to get it through the door and I am not interested in storing outside or paying for storage. So, it can not be higher than 7' sitting on the trailer. That makes me think you have to go performance boat.
Here is a bit about us and what we like to do. Wife and I are in our 40's with kids in their 20's plus a couple small/medium dogs. We like to have a good time and have room to be comfortable on the boat for everyone. We also like to do a little wake boarding/tubing, etc. We enjoy the lake, chill in the channel, but also like to go up to Topock and Pirates so spend a lot of time on the river as well.
Budget is <$100k but I am also cheap and will cringe at dropping $200 in gas for a day on the water. Speed is also not as important as comfort. Yes, I like the Tritoons, but don't think it would fit.
Please let me know what you would recommend. Any information on clearance height if you have a recommendation would be awesome as well.
Thanks, Dan
