    Default Best all around family boat

    We are looking to buy our 1st boat. We have a little experience boating with friends. Our family consists of young adults and teenagers.

    What would be the best all around boat for surfing, wake boarding, and tubing?

    How many people on the boat and what’s your budget?

    10-12 people would be nice
    Would love to be under $50,000 for a used boat.

    I agree with Stazi that a Craz is a great all around boat butI've been looking at used craz boats for a few months and you won't find anything below $60K. Most are $65-75K. This is about the cheapest Craz you are going to find and i think it's a pretty good deal.

    If you are looking to get something below $50K you could look at the LSV boats. I've seen several lately in the $40Ks, but 11-12 people is a full load in a LSV. The Craz will handle that load much better with more storage space.

    not going to make any friends on here with this but you are looking used so anything is open game
    under 50k and want to hold 10-12 comfortably, you need a 23-25ft boat. 12 on any boat is going to be a crowd.

    I'd look at this one in your price range and close to arizona as I assume that's where you are. germaine would probably swap it to arizona for ya.

    these boats never got a lot of love and not sure why. fits most of the bill and just a tad above your price BUT it's been there for a minute and sure you could get it close in price.

    I’d go with the RZ4 over the Supra 24 SSV any day, especially for surfing. The freeboard on the Supra is just to low. Also that hull design has little to no deadrise compared to the Tige and newer boats.

    I have a buddy with a 2012 Supra 242, throws a real good surf wake with the add'l ballast and wake-shaper. I cannot compare it to a RX4.
    The 242 has that love-it or hate-it shape to it.

    That 2008 with a 45K price tag and the green color - I have a feeling it will be sitting awhile.
