My buddy and I were at our local boat show last weekend and were disappointed with the lack of wakeboard boats there. granted it's all about fishing and river cruising in pontoons around here lol.
Anyway he is looking to update boats this year or next (currently has a 05 bayliner 185) so we went to get ideas and check out inboards. We were able to take a look at some Nautiques, supras, moombas, Tiges, Sangers and mastercrafts. no malibu/axis boats there sadly.
Most were out of his price range, but a moomba, axis, or sanger that is a few years old isn't.
I noticed the sanger boat's wrap around cabin seats were extremely low, I'm 6'2" he's 5'9" and it was a long way down. are all the sangers like this? the storage under the seats was super shallow. however I bet that low freeboard looks amazing on the water. Also I was only able to walk under like 3 of the 30 boats with bimini. is that expected for a guy my height? I could walk under the back of most but not the front.
I haven't gotten a chance to check out most of these boats in person (done lots of research though). thought is was cool and couldn't believe how tall the nautique g23 is on a trailer lol.
