New playboater looking for advice 16 years 5 months ago #27023

Hey guys,
I'm looking to get into playboating. I'm a small guy, 18, 5'7" and 125 pounds. I have a pretty small budget, so I'm looking at Daggers and Wavesports. So far I've found some boats I think look promising, Wavesport Fuse 48, Wavesport Project 45, and the Dagger G-Force 5.9. If you know of any other good boats for a small bill or think highly of one of the boats already mentioned, I would be highly appreciative.

all the boats you've mentioned seem preety good. i'd just like to add the fluid flirt. it's one of the cheaper playboats and apparantly it's a boat the pros can use.

good luck with you search:)

I recommend trying out boats before you buy them to see what feels right for you. also i would strong advise AGAINST buying a new boat because they are much too expensive. you can generally find bargains if you shop around- getting boats for over half the retail, they are in just as good condition and will last. i own a fluid flirt and think its an amazing boat to play in. other boats i would highly recommend are

Bliss-stick RAD
Necky orbit fish
Dagger juice (not really a play boat but can still play in it)
