I would look hard at a boat that has already been restored and someone is selling. You will do much better financially. You can't go wrong with an older 23 SeaCraft that has been restored. High gunnels and if you get caught in a storm she'll get you home. Another boat that I would take a close look at would be a 239 Hydra Sports. It's a very solid boat and family friendly, much newer than the Classic SeaCrafts but there are good deals to be had. Just make sure you don't have an old Ficht engine, has to be a 2002 or newer.

I agree on the memories, I have friends that sold their boats when they had kids. All I could think about was getting my kids on the boat. If I don't have charters on the weekends, my family and I will be doing overnights in Cuttyhunk, or MV, can't wait.
