Go with a downeast.There are lots available in your area for a great price.There's a reason the commercial guys in New England have always run these.Not only are they reasonably priced to buy but also cheap to run and maintain and are tough as nails.

Shamrocks are worth a look. Not a go fast boat but a solid safe ride.

Ditto, but I will add that I think shopping for one of the better known names will get you the most back when it's time to move on.

A post-2000 Trophy is worth checking out, better components/construction than most production boats but not a bunch of bling to jack up the price. Trophy's ad says, "All you need without spending all you've got" and as a Trophy owner for the last 3 years, I agree completely with that statement.

This is a great answer up your way. If you are willing to get a bit of fiberglass under your skin, you can get a new hull and deck and do the fitout yourself.

If I only had the know how, I would love to do something like outfit a boat on my own.
