Pursuit makes a nice boat with Outboards 2850.

You'll fine the inboard boats tend to have a much wider beam = The outboard boats tend to have a narrow beam - a little less room, but get a little better gas mileage.

My boat gets about 1.1 - 1.3 MPG - it has twin 5.7 mercruisers.

Take the wife - make sure you have your intentions set before going - Pursuit makes a quality boat - the Bertram is nice because of the cabin and the HUGE cockpit.

Lots of deals out there. I would not go too old if you look at the Grady Whites. I'd also look at the Scout Abaco - The Edgewater 265 Express.

The trick with boats, sports cars and women - they don't like to be ignored. Find one that's been used and has maintenance and you're golden. Find one that's been used and ignored and you are just asking for trouble.
