A friend of mine close to pulling the trigger on a new boat. Skeeter TZX 195 w 175Y. 19 &1/2 footer. I think slightly above average electronics but not HDS level. Based on basic typical add ons, good deal at $35,000 or more room to move down. Any other suggestions for best value at 35k?

When you say "new" I assume you mean brand new?

Yea, he's just a new truck/car/boat kinda guy. He's looked at Ranger Z118, Nitro Z7-8, Triton 18XS, and basscats 18-19 footer.
If he won't buy used, which one is the best buy?

A Skeeter ZX20 just sold on E=Bay this morning for $38,600.00. The boat had 8.5 hours on it with a SHO 250, that was a great deal!
