sounds like just about everything that i wanted when i bought mine price sounds fair as well as far as the trailor i think mine cost about a grand but it was for a 22 ft model im sure just like everything else it is all about how fancy you want to go and also about the coast guard pack my dealer included them but from what ive seen not all dealers are alike so they may or may not if you do decide to buy you wont regret it good luck

For that price the trailor should be included. You want a dual axle trailor with brakes. The boat sounds great. The only option missing is the ski pole. I have a horizon gps that I paid around $600 for and it works great. The coast guard package should come with the boat, but double check.
 
Instead of a 600.00 ski pole I opted for a ski tow harness ... Mostly only tubing ... I priced the same boat at other places and it kept being way higher in price. The trailer they have is 2900.00..... The grand total price also included the tax and registration .... The Gps was 720.00 but my boat mechanic can install it one for 125.00 and the same Garmin 441 I saw for 398.00,,, so it's a little cheaper that way too...
 
I paid 3,000 for a duel axle fully galvanized trailer. That is what they run new. I would reccomend the tow pole over the two harness set up, keeps the line nice & high and helps avoid issue with towing tubes, like the tube nose diving. Price...sounds about right, I personally don't think you could get that boat with the trailer for 33k, but who knows maybe there are deals our there. Does that boat have the privacy pop up ? That option is a hit on our boat, for changing out of wet clothes or the emergency that jumping in the lake can't fix.
 
There are allot of great GPS units out there, depends on what you want to do and how big the lakes are you plan on visiting. I purchased a Humminbird 788ci HD DI Combo. It's an expensive unit, avg sale price is around $700. This unit is a color depth finder, fish finder, GPS and Mapping unit. It also has the down imaging technology which converts sonar echos into pictures, the GPS/Mapping features have tons of built in functions and also accepts via an SD card other mapping software and satellite images. I want the sonar for depth alarms, and anchor drift alarm , I want the down imaging because I use my boat on a man made lake that has structures ( submerged bridges, house foundations) that I like to locate and sometimes fish over those areas. I wanted the GPS because the lake has 100 miles of shore line. I have been boating on the lake for 30 years and know every cove, but my wife is not as familiar so if she takes the boat out I need an easy to use GPS to ensure she can find her way back to the doc...it has track alarms and a bunch of easy to use features to allow safe navigation. I use the GPS mostly at night as a good part of the lake has undeveloped areas and no real shore light/navigation aides or visual aides you can use to navigate. I know there are units for $200 or $300, but personally spending the money now on one quality unit that does it all is worth the investment to me.
 
Excuse my ignorance, as everyone else seems to know what boat you're talking about, but what is a 2254 STi??? What year is that? It's not on the build-a-boat list on the current website, and I don't recall it being on the old site (a few months ago). I'm clueless on what that boat is. Is it an older model?
 
I have a 2012 24' SF Trailer is a double axle with brakes, on average I would say your trailer will run around $3000 give or take a few $$

I have a Rolco tailer made in Chanute Kansas, this trailer is set up for a tritoon but I have a twin tube set up.
 
Thanks for the suggestions so far!!!

Kaydano the 2254 Sti is not on the web sites,, just came out this year ,,, Its a boat they came out with to help in rough water.. It has 3-FULLl length toon, wave shield , strakes on center tube, anode package and more all included,,,

Does anyone recommend the Garmin 441 or 441s? Not sure what the sonar difference is,,,, I'm using it to navigate through the Delaware river nj and also to take trips to Maryland from here.. Very light fishing,,, possible night driving and want to really check water depth and boat speeds
 
Jason, if you want to feel good about that price....I paid $26,000 for an 05 RL2550 in Feb. of 2011 and felt lucky to find it. With a galvanized trailer.
