How to Choose between the 13O Super sport, 150 Super sport, and 150 Montauk.
I am considering purchasing one of these fine boats. My wife and I are retirees who would like to cruise around our coastal bays. I would also like to occasionally fish the bays with a couple of buddies. All of them would fit in our garage. I am having a tough time deciding among the three boats. The 130 seems to be a nice boat for the wife and me to play with, but I'm wondering whether it would struggle with three or four adults aboard.
Both the 150 Super Sport and the 150 Montauk would appear to serve the two types of use i have in mind. The dealer in Southern California (our area) said that they sell a lot of the 130's and Montauks, but they don't sell very many 150 Super Sports. Although I hope to use the boat for several years, God willing, I would hope the boat to have good resale value.
I would appreciate any input from members as to considerations or opinions as to choosing among these three fine boats.
