200 or 220 and towers?

[andymoler58]

I am debating a 2013 220 and a 2017 200, I like the color of the 200 better and I like the fact that it doesn’t have a tower

They are both the same price at 37k , the 200 has a trailer and the 220 doesn’t. The 220 has 97 hours and and the 200 has 67 hours.

Does the tower really have any function because I don’t really like the look. My 200 has the Bimini top and I think it looks better and it costs less to store at the marina.

I do hear that the extra 2 feet goes a long way thoughb

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Depends how you use your boat with water sports. After having my 220 with a tower over my 200 that didn't. I would never go back.
Go with what your heart is saying then.

Tower is great for getting in and out (no more keep you flipping hands off the Bimini speech). The two feet is worth it. Personally I like the new style arch towers and would get a 2014 with the tower. Also, the newer towers fold down very easily.

Hold off if u have to to get what you want. Where r u located?

Oh there will be lots of them coming.
What engines were in those 2.

It was a 240 v6 in the 200 and a 270 v6 in the 220

I take this isn't your first boat?
Wait for better power. Just saying.
In a 22 ft or a 20 foot boat I wouldn't want anything under a 350 in either of them. But hey some have that power and love it. It's all in how your going to use it. But hey get the tower.

Come on, bb, who in their right mind would even think to check to see what size engine was under the hood?
