Looking for a used boat, and have researched Yamahas. But, nothing available. Boat is for Cape Cod (salt). I can get a 2012 Challenger 230, for my budget. Advice now please!

Take your time & don’t rush into buying something, can’t say that enough. I had to drive 8hrs one way to get ours after looking for a LONG time so you may have to expand your radius. We are very pleased with our Yamaha but we’re looking at the Challengers as well, IIRC they require premium fuel and the Yamaha does not. Premium fuel is an added expense and not readily available in the places we boat. Take your time & don’t settle for something just because you can’t find what you really want.
