There is some excellent advice for you on this thread. I would consider as many charter trips with as many different captains as you can before you buy. There are so many variables that may affect your choice of boats... large boat vs. small boat, deep vee vs. flatter bottom, trolling vs. casting, inshore vs. offshore etc. You will probably learn what you like as well as invaluable safety information from charter captains. Also consider the trip sharing threads that some fishing web site have, its not as surefire, but there are some good boaters out there.
