Some here pick on us jet bote guys...but everyone picks on the wake bote guys;)

....that might change though, BossMan bought a wake bote. Us jet folk may get picked on more:(

Any particular year or power on the Carrera?

Don’t care about the year as long as it’s in good shape and big block and has to be jet

Start in Phoenix craigslist, tons were sold over here. Ive had both the 20.5 elite and 202 and would choose a 20.5. But it's a personal choice.

Just curious, why the elite over the 202?

The 202 has a little more freeboard but the hull seemed to drag and the helm farther up front seemed odd. Equipped with a 454 jet it really didn't move that well

The 20.5 elite was pretty decent in chop and I really didn't have an issue with the slightly lower freeboard. The boat seemed bigger even though it wasn't much larger and it just handled better. It was a 454 jet as well.

The best 21 jet I have ever owned was hands down my last 2004 Ultra stealth made and rigged by John at Ultra.

Ha I had one of those as well, it was a great boat especially for the time.

Good ole Carrera years were fun.

And does it need to be a Carrera? Saw a couple nice boats that fit the criteria on CL.

How did you like the carrera viper only have seen one for sale and it was a complete project

We loved it. It handled the lake great, everything about it was great, lol I cant recall why we sold it back in 94. Carrera did a great job on the hull and gel. If I was looking for something in that class that wouldn’t be as old, I go with a Lavey Nuera 24.

Im using the boat more than Im trying to sell it, but here is the original add from when I bought it. I has had a motor re-build sense I bought it and usual use, other than that, it looks the same
