need some (or maybe a lot) of input for a new boat purchase ... looking primarily at a MB B52 23.
One main question to this one first: Is the 400hp engine enough when loaded with the additional 2200lbs plug and play (boat will be used in MN - so no high altitude issue) or is the upgrade to the 440hp warranted (7K option)?
Now for anyone who had the chance to compare - I may get a pretty sweet deal on a Malibu VLX - so looking at this boat too - it's fully loaded. However some disadvantages - I don't like pumps ...
I have some limitations (beyond just price) as for example my boat lift is rated at 5000 lbs. so quite a few boats have fallen off the radar due to that limitation as I don't want to buy a new lift, new tow vehicle etc. and both of the above boats are within that limit.
Now as this might be the last boat I'm going to buy - resale is not my first consideration. I also don't care about dealer proximity as MB Sports has no dealer in MN - the closest one would be in Michigan. Not sure if this is enough info to start but would appreciate if the MB owners could chime in (yes I know there's another forum for them out there ...)
