Answer to one
SE usually add a few things depending on the year. You should check the BRP website, you can reference past year model so you can know exactly. SE usually add snap in carpet, covers, depth finder, maybe the remote radio control.
I'll let the resident motor expert help you with the motor. :cheers:

I prefer the 250 optimax over the older 240 for a couple of reasons. First they still make the 250, and second the engine management system on the 250 is much more advanced and more automotive like than the older 240. The 240 did undergo major electronic updates in late 2001 which made the later generation more reliable, and user friendly " in my opinion".

I think you guys forget I'm in canada. My budget is $22000.00 CDN. with the exchange that means somwhere around $17500.00 US.
As mentioned before there are alot for sale in the states. The majority are at least 2 to 3 days drive 1 way for me. The other issue is buying site unseen! Not the best way to buy when looking for used. You never know what you're gonna get.
It's too far to take a chance. Then there's the issue of border crossing. Is there duty to pay?? What is the tax burden?
With that being said, I'd still like more advice as to which engine is the better. Thanks for your reply Rookie101. Also what about fuel consumption??

..didnt know, if you caught the, buy'n in Canada, sentence...:cheers:
All you pay is tax when you bring a boat across the border. With the potential to save thousands, make sure you check out some listings in the northern States. I drove 11 hours each way to pick my boat up, and it saved me about 6000.00 over buying the same one locally.
The only thing with the border is they like to have about three days notice when you bring any sort of vehicle across. I drove to California to help my brother pick up his first boat (30hr each way)and it was no problem at all. We just called the border before we left, and the lady on the phone told us she would leave all the paper work at the border for us on the way down (had to stop and go to the Canadian side first). On the way back with the boat we filled all the paper work out and it was literally a five minuet stop.
And for you American folks, a 06 up here would still be 25-32,000. Heck I would still ask 22,000 for my 05. I just looked at a 09 on the weekend and the out the door price with their rock bottom price was 43,894 for the 310hp Utopia with no tower.:ack:
