Theres alot to be said for the new skiffs on the market. Combined with a new four stroke they are VERY efficient and will provide years of trouble free fishing. Old boats, motors and trailers require time and money and the occaissional migrain on the water. I bought a 21 ft Carolina Skiff w/ 8 ft beam, CC, leaning post w/30 gal livewell, front casting deck, 50 hp Suzuki and trailer for $13k. I won't be going 50 mph out to Block, but it will be a stable inshore boat that can go into the shallows and out to Block on the calm mornings, and I didn't touch the college funds! Just trying to give another angle. Good luck!
