1st boat ??s

So the wife wants to get a boat and she's all about it, even took me to bass pro to look at new boats.

She loves going out in the 14' John boat and craw dad but doesn't like the lack of space and how unstable they are.

The issue is she wants a one and done boat.

Her requirements: can be used in the bay, used in freshwater, bigger bodies of water like worden/wallum/Burlingame,bay and back bay, fishing, and wants to be able to take it to block!

And has to have an awning or some shaded covering.

Was trying to tell her those are all different things!

I have used and towed a 18' tracker with a 25hp and 18' north coast cc and feel pretty comfortable using something along those lines.

I'm leaning more towards a bay boat, that can safely make a run to block weather permitting

The fresh water aspect isn't a factor really

So I guess my main question is anyone have a suggestion for size and brand?

Things to stay away from?


Probably going to go new or used something with warranty either at the end of this season (left over boat) or early next season.

I know it's a lot of different types of water/usage to cover but trying to find a good compromise on all fronts.
