we looked at buying a Funship but decided on a h180ss. (Wife wanted a new boat) Cousin has the 19ss Crownline.
I would go the Funship over the Crownline.

Cheers

The wife found this boat and loves the way it looks. I don't know anything about tahoes, are they decent boats?

My brother has that identical boat. He loves it, but that being said I would still go with the FW that boat will get small very quickly. They are pretty stripped down in my opinion

we went and looked at the boat today and it was in pretty good shape especially for being 8 years old. The grab handles show some wear and need to be replaced and we aren't sure if they have the bow filler cushions. The dealership is checking on the cushions, but I was wondering if there is a good website to get replacement cushions and parts? We looked around online but couldn't find anything. We put a refundable deposit on the boat to hold because the starter needs to be replaced and I need that done before a marine surveyor can take it out and give it a good go over. The marine surveyor said it would be approx. $400, that seems a little pricey but don't really know.

$400 installed with labor. That's decent for a marine mechanic.

Bow filler cushions? You'll have to have them made up.

Sorry for the confusion....the $400 was just for the marine surveyor to go over the boat.

The first official quote I got was $18/ft plus $100 to take it out on the water so close to $500, but since its my first boat I know I really need to do this.
