All,

I need to choose between a 2005 Crownline 216LS w/220HP merc for
$25,500 or a 2005 Cobalt 200 w/260 merc for $30,200. Neither comes with
trailer and I don't need one. They come with wood trim, bimini top,
snap-in cparpet, 5 year warranty on the motor, basic stereo, etc.

Questions:

Are these good prices?
Is the 220hp motor enough for the 3800lb Crownline?
Is it worth savung the $5K and live with the smaller engine and lesser
quality/reputation?

This boat will be used for family cruising on a lake and some
watersports---mostly knee-boarding, tubing, and some skiing.

Thanks in advance.
