We have purchased 3 different Boston Whalers over the past 10 years. All of them were used but excellent boats. We purchased one through Silver Sands and two through Shep Browns. We started with an 18' bowrider and although a nice reliable boat you did get tossed around on the rough days. The 22 footer seems just right for the lake. Tubing, skiing, cruising, rough weather, it does it all ! Seats a good size family and has a porta-potti !The service at Sheps has been excellent.I highly recommend them. Steve in the service department helped me fix a problem over the phone when I could not start the boat last summer.Used boats are certainly something to consider, especially if you are buying from a reputable dealer. Good luck!
