I just bought a house on a canal with Gulf access. So I need a boat.

I’m thinking center console in the 28-32’ range. I’m wanting to spend less than a 100k, preferably 75k or less, just depends on the boat, I do want something nice, but would prefer better quality over new and shiny.

I’ll use the boat to go fishing primarily, with accationally taking the kids and grandkids out to the beach.

I have a few friends pushing the walk around, or express type boats, but my wife is never going to spend the night on the boat. So I’m thinking it takes up to much room, and it adds weight.

So far I’m looking at Pursuit, Grady White, and Intrepids. Along with a few others.

It will probably be a couple of month getting the new lift and dock built. And of coarse were suppose to stay at home, so no looking at the moment.

So any opinions? Things to look out for? Are boat prices going to drop in the next few months? Is my budget out of line?
