hey I'm looking for a boat.. about 22'-24'.. not TOO pricy but still hot and does the job. its not going to be used as like a SErIOUS EXPERT RIDER or anything.. so whats a good boat that can be used for riding as well as a casual day out on the boat?

Loaded question. Prepare yourself to hear from everybody about the virtues of their boat. When you say "serious expert rider", what type of riding do you plan to do (wake, ski, knee, surf, tube?) Remember, just because your not a serious rider now, you might get serious if you get the right boat.

Try being a little more specific. What exactly is "too pricey"? When you say "new", do you mean new to you/used or new as in off the showroom floor? I assume your only interested in inboards and not I/O. For brand new boats check out your nearest Moomba and other ski/wakeboard boat dealers and you might find a deal on a 2005 model. Moombas tend to be the least expensive wakeboard boats.

Do lots of forum and Google searches and read, read, read. Visit the magazine rack and buy a handful of boat mags as well. Know what you want and can afford to pay for it. The best consumer is an educated consumer.
