Better ride then swiftcraft dominator ?
What are you going to do with the other 2 boats you have?
Sell them .
At that end of the market and that age profile you're looking at minimum $10k for floor, stringers and transom rebuilt properly without any modifications. 99% of the time a new motor, another $10k minimum. All of a sudden you've spent $35k and still haven't got it seriously wet. Then you've got a boat and trailer thats now 6.5m long or even longer depending, wider than your current boats and weighing around 2 tonne. And then there's the whole reason why boats like Swiftcraft Dominators are consistently cheap, why they don't attract premiums like a 'Haines tax' they leave a lot to be desired ride wise....
You're best off weighing up EXACTLY what you're after, how much extra work and money you want to put into it and then pulling the trigger on that specific boat, not just the cheapest and nastiest boat with a decent name
