Welcome!

What year range? Any specific part of Michigan? Does it have to be a 230 or will a 220 or 240 work? How much you want to spend? Give us some parameters and I"m sure we can find you a boat.

I'm from metro detroit. Willing to go anywhere in lower michigan. I'd like to get into
a 1996-2003, and 200-240 Horizon. QUALITY & RELIABILITY over price value.

We have been looking for a nice 230-260 & have not had much success. Would like to be 2002 or newer. Most of what I have come across has been way over priced.

Not in Michigan, but looks to be in pretty good shape! I've seen it for sale for some time now...

Sure...everything I have is for sale :D. Seriously...I would not sell our boat. It is just plain awesome for our family and on top of that affordable. But you are finding what I did also...not many for sale. Took me almost a year to find this one and I bought it the day it was listed.

WD, I saw 6 different 230/240's about the same year as yours on Bear Lake yesterday. Very popular boat that most people keep for years of enjoyment.

Here is a 240 Horizon a few miles from me for sale

And a 230 in Gaylord

And a 210 Horizon

Man...with those asking prices I feel awesome about what I paid almost 4 years ago now. That one in Spring Lake has been for sale for a little while now. See if he will bargain. Of course it has bottom paint which for me would be a no go.

My boat is either on the trailer or in the rack...not sitting in the water. In a bowrider like this it hurts resale. How do you plan to store yours?

I know the Spring Lake boat. VERY NICE! It's an 8.5.

With these big bow riders, don't get to hung up on the price. Honestly you find you are going to keep the boat much longer and enjoy it more than the few extra $$$ you might save looking for a deal. Once you get out of the 20-22 foot range, your 2 footitus will diminish. (unless you see a 310.... different story)

Must be a new listing. That is the previous design to my boat. I do not like it only has the SX drive on it for a boat that size and weight. Go take it for a test drive.
