Hey there my buddy Fosters
My friend has a 25ft Crownline, really nice boat.
Better than gayliner - YES
better than Maxum - YES
better than SeaRay - personnally I would look at SeaRay
remember there are a LOT of knock-offs out there, look at the craftsmanship/hull/accessories etc. and what you are trying to do or what purpose your buying the boat for. You can go insane nuts looking at boats.
Are you looking for inboard? IO?, outboard?
todays Four stroke outboards are the sh!t, but don`t exclude the E-tec series Johnson or Evinrude either...
Have a great day my friend!...PR...

thanks for that PR
yeah i saw the searay as well its a toss up between the two
purpose of the boat will be just going out with the family and do a bit of skiing/wakeboarding
there will be both river and ocean riding so it`ll have to be able to handle the chop reasonably well
the one`s i looked at all had the inboard mercruisers in them,so i don`t think i can get any better there

We have a Crownline and love it. It is a 98 with 200+ hrs on it and have never had a problem. Great ride much better than that of a Caravelle or a cheaper boat. Also Sea ray is a great boat for families. I know many people who have had good luck w/ sea ray. Rinker, My brother in law has a 25' rinker deck boat holds 14 people has a 350 in it and cruises well with a top speed of only 52mph. Buy a Donzi ZX35!
