Going to be ordering a new boat soon. Is the Z250L worth the extra dollars over the Z520C? I'm leaning towards the Z520C. Thans

I just ordered a new boat myself a few weeks ago. I ended up going with the 520L for several reasons. The ride quickly is better, it has different body lines and console construction the seats are upgraded also. You get to put whatever graphs you want on it. After making my decision and ordering it I Definitely knew I made the right choose. Can’t wait until it gets here!!!
Had both ...Like the C better....
my 0.02 worth
There's not a night and day difference in the ride between the two. Mostly cosmetic differences and differences in the standard packages/options.
Look at both in person and go with the one you like better.

Go with the C
The difference is the L is $10k higher than the C. The only reason to go with the L is if you want non-Lowrance electronics or a non-Mercury motor. The seats in the L are more comfortable.
The L definitely rides a lot better and is a drier ride!!!
Get the C Boat if paying retail and want a Mercury
If you sell/sold Rangers or get a factory discount or do not want a Mercury you go L
The L boat does ride drier and has different cosmetics Inside and out and will flush mount hds16 in the dash , I have had both boats and like them both of them . Why buy yesterday model when the new one out ?

I was in the same boat about a month ago and went with the L. Yes it is more money but all new boats are a lot of dang money. The C boats are still a great boat I just hate you are so limited on what options you can choose with the C. At the end of the day even my wife said "if you are spending 70+ on a boat you better get what you want because it's yours for a while" "Yes Ma'am!"

I chose the L for these reasons:
Opted out of rod tubes
Traction pad in cockpit
History says this hull should be here 5+ years
I am also in a position where I can sell a paid off boat every 3 years to have engine warranty.
Since I would want a Merc and Lowrance graphs, I would get a C hands down...
