What boat would you recommend?

[Larson70]

I have a budget of about 1500$. I bought a 1985 19' Ebbtide DynaTrak SS with a solid 1979 Johnson 150 on it but the boat was full blown rotted. Not a single spot of the boat was solid. I don't want to invest that much time to resto. that boat although I have bought the supplies. I figured it would be better to find a boat to put the 150 on or sell the 150 and get a solid boat/motor package. I am going to part out the 19' boat as well. Below are the only options within a few 100 miles of the upstate of SC over the last couple of months. Which ones would you guys recommend? I like the first one but i would have to downgrade/trade my 150 for an 85 (not a force). I want to go fast/cruise with friends/tube and wakeboard.

well there were plenty of I/O's available for total package of 2-3k but im looking for something to put an outboard on or have. I also like the looks of most of the Bayliners more than the others available in this range.

Nothing wrong with Bayliner if you accept that it's probably going to need a full rebuild.. I would get this one and just sell your 150hp. 91 bayliner.. Expect that the floor needs to be redone as they probably did not do it correctly
