    My wife wants to trade in our (paid off) boat and get one of those Chaparrel deck boats. I don't know much about them. Can someone give me a list of top 5 deck boats. I am not asking to buy a Ferrari but also don't want a Yugo. Any recs? Thanks.

    Well, this site is going to be geared more towards the West Coast Performance Deckboats that will cost you a lot more than a Chaparral will.

    Like how much. I think the chap is around 75K or so. Is it the size and quality of the engine?

    Any of the West Coast Performance deckboats will probably be right around $100k with a 525 before any other options and taxes. When I say West Coast I am talking about Advantage, Conquest, Eliminator, Hallett, Lavey, and Magic. Some will be more and some will be less.

    You can't compare a Chaparral to any Custom boat.

    I'm partial to the Lavey, but you will need around $130,000.00 to do it right.

    im with prowler on the prowler but at about 100k with a 496 you will need to want it pretty bad.i think the chaparal deck boats are pretty sweet and have everything you and your family will need.

    I like the Magic, I like the Conquest, the Lavey, all of 'em really... Not real fond of the HTM though...
    Dare I say, have you considered something in the middle like this (http://www.cheetahboatmfg.com/24fastcatdeck.html) ??
