Sadly I may part with my Dakota, I sold my 2 RXP sea doos and upgraded to a 07 Crownline boat that I am putting into a marina. The Dakota most like would not be able to pull it (besides didnt get a trailer anyway). I no longer need a vehicle to pull. So I have a set of ram wheels I just pulled off the truck. I am selling the tires to a friend for his chevy which leaves me with the wheels. There is no damage to them and they look great on the Dakota. Is anyone interested in them before I put them on eBay? I paid 750.00 for the set, not asking that price so make offer! Heck also selling the truck if anyone in the austin tx area is interested. 06 quad cab v8, KN intake, gibson exhaust, truxedo bed cover with 15,500 miles on it.Let me know!

Haven't the money for rims right now but what size tires were those? Guess I should have widened my search for my truck. I keep seeing V8 with low miles for sale.

 

Edit: What kind of Crownline? I bought my truck just for the purpose of towing. I've only got the V6 but it will tow up to a 22' Bayliner. I haven't bought my boat yet but looking at an 18' bowrider. Don't know beans about brands yet.

 

The wheels are 20" factory dodge rims off a 06 dodge 1500. I bought a 07 Crownline 230ls 23' open bow. I chose the crownline because the fit and finish is much better than most boats I have been on. I got the mercruiser 300HP MPFIwith the bravo3 drive which will be real nice to have. 300hp will be enough for me, it will run mid 50s. Boat listed for 67k (Crownlines are pricy) but I got it at 41k with model year end. Nice thing is the boat has a21 degree dead rise so with will cut rough water nicely. I caution you on bayliners, they tend to loose value quickly and build quality isnt always there. However bayliners have some good prices.It gets delivered to the marina tomorrow, I am pretty excited. I got tired of trailering my seadoos around so I got a slip with a hydro hoist. This winter I am going to get the thru hall exhaust added so it should really sound nice!

Apprarently my wallet isn't as thick as yours!! The Bayliner is $3k to $4k less (in the 185 boat). 23' is too big for me, I'm just starting out but sweet boat. Wish I had $40k to blow on a toy. I'm saving up for a down payment and will probably get a used boat.

What's wrong with the Bayliners; anything in particular I should look for? I'm not a fit and finish kind of guy so I won't be going Crownline unless I hit the lottery. With $330million all bets would be off!! I do want a decntly built boat tho so if the quality isn't there, I want to know about it.
