Looking for a Viper Coral 202

[MidwestTexan]

I'm in the market for a fish and ski and the Vioer Coral 202 has my attention. I know there's not many out there so thought I'd post to see if anyone knows of some for sale? I'm willing to travel.

Theres a 1999 Viper Coral 191 that's close that I'm going to look at if it's still available. Do you lose much front deck on the 191 compared to the 202 or is it mainly rear deck space? Can you still lay a 7' rod on the deck of the 191?

Does the longer 202 ride better in the chop? Guess my main question is, is it worth waiting and looking for a 202? We have a family of 5, so the extra leangth of the 202 would be nice.

You won't be able to lay 7' rods on the deck of either. The will fit in the rod lockers but will not lay flat on the deck. That said I also have a family of five and the coral 202 is the perfect boat for us. I looked at a couple 191s and they might have worked ok but the 202 is so much better for us.

Not many fish and skis can take 7' rods on the front deck, but there are a few.
