This seems to be a fine and informed group and I would like to politely
ask for some advice. It is almost time to graduate from a 3-seater
Seadoo to either a cuddy or a bowrider. The Seadoo is a lot of fun, but
age is taking its toll and a bit of comfort is needed. This would be a
first boat for us, we live 10 miles from Dana Point, CA - there's a
convenient marina for ocean boating and we are a reasonable towing
distance from the Colorado River lakes (Mohave, Mead). At some point,
skiing has to be attempted, but it will not be anything wild - I am
approaching mid fifties and my wife is in her mid forties. General
messing around on the water and maybe a tad of entertaining is the idea.
Overnighting is not essential, but it may happen.

We are thinking used, but no more than about year 2000.

I am looking at an ebay item

hours_W0QQitemZ4567373583QQcategoryZ63685QQrdZ1QQc mdZViewItem

What do you think - apart from the fact that the boat is in Texas? What
would be a good value of this item? Any other recommendations for
manufacturers and any manufacturer/model warnings would be appreciated.

Many thanks
