Hi All
New here and looking for some feedback. Two questions
1) For my location and situation the Cutwater 248 looks like a great fit. I am in relatively shallow water at my dock (2’) but other than that there is enough depth. I want something for day boating and occasional overnight/weekend. There is a 2019 242coupe available with low hours but the newer 248 seems like it has worthwhile upgrades. The 242 is about half the cost and the depreciation on a new boat is a concern. Is the 248 vs 242 worth the added cost?
2) I currently have an 18’ Whaler bow rider and been on the water over 10 years. Great boat but too small for the family. The Cutwater is a bit intimidating size-wise. I assume you get used to a much larger enclosed boat but anyone else ever regret that jump in size?
