I am ready to spring for a boat after a lot of reading and research. I had narrowed it down to Chap and Rinker. Used Captiva 232, or Chap 220 or 230ssi. Then this Glastron popped up and it has everything we want, but so does this SSI. Any opinions?

^^ Yeah thats what I was wondering. I do think the Glastron is overpriced.

The ssi has a 305 merc multi port fuel injection. Are Glastrons a good boat?

Chaparral all the way, I just purchased an 06 204SSi and it is awesome. And I looked at them all and did tons of research. Way better built then the glastron and the 305MPI is an awesome power plant. Plus in looking at the pictures it looks like the Glastron has been neglected, rips in pad and gauge falling out of dash. And that is just the obvious stuff. Says a lot about how the boat was treated.

Yep 305 and 5.0 are same size.

I personally would go for the Larson subject to a Marine Sueveyor appraisal.
