Boatownerwannabe 0 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Pros and cons of each year. Both have low hours the 23 has a 6.0 liter engine and the 21 has 343 horsepower. Which is a better boat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boatownerwannabe 0 Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 But would the 2009 changes be a better wake/surf boat. I want a good boat for wake/surf/ski. I am also worried about gas consumption. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ProvoMB52 34 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Like was said by Olds, 23' all day long. Between the 2 options, there is only 1 choice, unless you want 2 footitis the first year you own a boat. As for the gas consumption, if that's on your list of worries, maybe you'd better find a different hobby. You do know what B.O.A.T. stands for right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldsmobiledriver 2,713 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Bust Out Another Thousand! 6.0 doesn’t do bad on fuel. We push a 24’ Tige around with 4500 lbs of water in it with a 2079 prop and it may burn 2-3 gallons more than my 343 an hour. I may have my years wrong but someone will correct me but I believe the only benefit to the 21 in the big deep v all the way back. It’s a different wave but not noticeably different than the previous hull as long as you equip each correctly on accessories for what sport you’re shooting for.

Boatownerwannabe 0 Posted November 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 thank you for the info about the six-liter engine. I know this was talked about on a different forum but I don't see how this boat is overpriced, on nada it says that it is priced a couple grand under its value http://seattlewatersports.com/boat/2008-mb-b52-v23/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Racer808 282 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 thank you for the info about the six-liter engine. I know this was talked about on a different forum but I don't see how this boat is overpriced, on nada it says that it is priced a couple grand under its value http://seattlewatersports.com/boat/2008-mb-b52-v23/ You never go off NADA, the market dictates what boats are worth. NADA had my Malibu 12k lower than what I sold it for. Having came from a 21' to a 23', there is no way I would ever go back to a 21' even if it's just the wife & myself out. As for engine, is that even a serious question? You always bigger. I have the 6.0L & still wish I had more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boatownerwannabe 0 Posted November 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 I am coming off of a 16.5 foot i/o so I dont know very much but I am curious if that boat is worth close to the valueof what they are selling it for. If you were going to buy it what would you think its worth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willy.Fire 2 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Tack on exchange rate, taxes and a trailer if u need one and the price adds up fast in cad for that boat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ProvoMB52 34 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 The shortest answer to your question as to whether, or not, the boat your are showing us is overpriced, is yes. It seems the comments you have received have been uniformly to that fact. As Racer808 noted, don't rely on NADA. See what boats are selling for in the local area where you are looking. Online classifieds are a good option. The asking price is just that, and I can't imagine a dealer being serious when asking the noted price for that vintage of boat, and certainly not one without a trailer. Doesn't mean you can't get to an equitable pricing agreement with the dealer, if you think this is the boat for you, but there's some negotiating work ahead to be done, in my opinion.

Boatownerwannabe 0 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 in your opinion does the 2008 centurion enzo sv230 have a good wake and surf vs the 2009 tomcat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ProvoMB52 34 Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Can't speak to either of the other boats you are comparing with the '09 Tom. Our first B52 was an '08, and to be perfectly honest, that was so long ago, and so many surf wave set ups ago, I can't remember what that wave even looked like. In truth I think we were still spending most of our time wakeboarding. The '08 put out a decent wakeboard wake, but it's nothing like the rides the new ones provide! BTW, as was asked earlier I believe, how close is the nearest MB dealer, or whatever brand of boat dealer you might be looking at for that matter? If you're thinking of buying a boat that's nearly 10 years old, you're going to want to have a dealer that will treat you well, so that should be part of the purchase decision.

Hyperryd 3,203 Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 I guess I’m the only one that is going to go with the B52. Better hull, ballast gates instead of pumps, better tower, first wide body with more freeboard. If you sit in the two you will be surprised how large the 21’ will feel compared to the older hull design of the ‘08. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
