I've been down that road more then once and it suxed. I bought two money pits before I finaly got a decent boat. There are many things to consider when deciding. Trailering.....pros and cons, hoarse power...pros and cons, length ect..... like you said it all boils down to $$. The more your willing to spend the better choices will be availible to you. Occansionally there are good deals floating around out there guys that are desperate but ya gota have the cash on hand. proably all old news to you but its good to be refreshed sometimes.....one more thing, boats can get you to fishy island
