I am a newbie boater and want opinions on the Regal 24 footer vs the Sea Ray
22 footer vs. the Chris Craft Launch 25.
Why these models you ask? Because they are the smallest with a head, and she
who must be obeyed has commanded a head on our new boat.
The Regal and the Chris Craft have the Volvo Penta twin props and the Sea
Ray the Mercruiser 5.0L with Bravo Drive.
What are the thoughts on the reliability, longevity and resale value on
Volvo vs Merc AND Regal vs Sea Ray vs Chris Craft?
We will be boating in North Florida (St. Johns River, IC and occasionally
close to the ocean).

I think the Chris Craft is head and shoulders above the other two. Real
head-turners, especially with the Heritage package.

If price is truly no object, swallow hard and go for the 315 HP Yanmar
diesel with the Bravo 3 drive.
