Default Choices for a used gas boat

I have always wanted an enforcer boat, but never been able to pull the trigger on one because of the price. i have alwasy considered other brands, but then come to the conlusion that i should just buy an enforcer. But lately i have not seen many used enforcers for sale..
anyhow, I have seen a bunch of boats on ebay lately, including a new enforcer pro (that i did not win in an auction), but there are several other choices out there right now that i am wondering if i should consider. Since it will be for casual use, my main needs are reliability and availablity of stock parts. this boat will never be modded...

What do you all think of these choices? Or do I really need to bite the bullet for a warehouse hobbies boat?

I was thinking that a Rio would be a good boat as I ahve had good luck with aquacraft before and i'm sure i can get parts for it if needed...

BTW, i will only be running this boat for one week a year as i am going to keep it at my parents lake house and i am usually only there for about a week a year in the summer or fall.

regards,
Scott

Bite the bullet and buy new, it's worth it. If it was twice the price of those then that would have been close to new boat price.
