around the 45k mark + or - thats just for the boat not rego and stamp duty

I know that the Searay sport 185 bowrider cost 43990 and the 175 sport is around 35999

you can get 2005/2006 searays sport 185 second hand for around the 38k mark with the larger 4.3lt V6 and lots of extras

what I really want to know is how well do they handle in the ocean I would like to be able to go out past garden island and do some fishing or even a cruise over to rotto for the day. But as I have no experance I dont know how well they will take the ocean swell all the reviews I have read they are always tested in inland water.
