I will say this about the Trophy boats, my friend had one and I thought it was a good boat for the price he had paid, I think it's the same model you are looking at. However Trophy (Bayliner) has a terrible reputation in the boating industry and the resale value suffers because of this, justified or not. Also the 135hp will be underpowered for this boat, you need to upgrade to the 150hp.

If you really like this boat/motor combination I would suggest looking for something used 1-2 years old, you can probably pick it up for 17-19K

Best of luck...
