Advise on boat purchase

[Freeborn53]

Hi,
I'm thinking of a new boat. The Arrowglass Puma trihull has been fun as my first boat, but now I would like something better, so...
What do you think of these:
2005 Glastron SX 195 5.0 Volvo out drive with only 55 hrs (seldom used boat) $14000.00
New 2009 Glastron 170 SSV Bowrider w/ Evinrude E-Tec 90 HP $14945.00
I will be in Lake Washington, and the Columbia river, some tubing, mostly motor around, stop jump in , motor some more.
Thanks

Re: Advise on boat purchase

personally i would go with the Etec, but i am an outboard guy. you also get a warranty with the 2009. the VP 5.0 is a fantastic system. but even low use, it is due for some maintenance due to age.
