Hi all,
I have been lurking here for a bit, getting schooled on centurions, what a great wealth of info!
Looking to purchase my first family boat, would like to keep the budget from 25-30k.
I have 2 young children (under 5).
I kiteboarded originally and have all the board skills. I recently surfed on a friends boat (tige z1) and am addicted, hence why I'm here.
(And the fact that waiting & chasing the wind sucks sometime!!)
Boat will predominately be used to surf and wakeboard... but I sure there will be tubing, kneeboarding, etc with little kids. Probably very little slalom skiing
Looking for the c4 seating, not a huge fan of the walk thru avy (already looked at one).
1. Is it better to go with a newer 06 elite v c4 (I like the bigger scorpion engine) or an older 03 Avy C4?
2. Being new to the boating world how much difference am I going to notice in the surf wave between the two?
3. Are little kids gonna hate the monster wake of the avy?
everything being a wash both boats have ballast, PP, dual batteries, stereo upgrades, hours are about the same (250 & 280)...
I can get an clean 03 Avy C4 for 32K and a clean 06 elite v for around 28k... which would you go with?
I also have the option of 2 Avy's with the walk thru for under 28k, same options as boats above.
I think I know my answer but thought some opinions of those that have these boats would help me from second guessing myself!
Oh, I'm in Canada if that makes a difference.
Thanks for all the feedback
