Ok I’ve posted this on another thread but here we go. I’ve been on a boat since I was two and have owned at least one boat since I was 15. I have owned over 20 boats in my life time so far. Not bragging just stating I know more about boats than Porsche’s. I’ve mostly owned centerconsoles for tournament fishing but have also had 2 sailboats a houseboat, flats boat and some cuddies. First what will you be using the boat for? There really is no one size fits all boat. Second jumping into a 35’ starter boat will be overwhelming, especially if it’s docked and not on a trailer. The maintenance will triple. For me my 34’ was about the limit of what I could run by myself, so hopefully you have a spouse,kids or friends to help out.Thirdly unlike some of our cars there is usually no way you will make any money on a boat. It is very hard to give you any good advice without knowing your purpose of the boat,budget,location. For more help check out some boating forums like thehulltruth.com . Good luck.
