Just plane practical
Hello my wife and I are military and was looking at the best possible boat fot our needs. We have looked at this and that and been told an array of different opinion. T e bottom line is that military, yes on a budget a bit, but close to retirement, looking for a fast way from the pamlico sound out to the outer banks, and be able to sleep comfortable currently we do not have any boats, just a couple of jet skies for the family, when there down. Can anyone let us know what the best year range and boat we would be satisfied with,

i would recomend that you have someone, reputable and bonded inspect prior to purchase and provide written inspection report. it might seem like alot of money, but should help from bad experience. on boat imagine where you plan to go and what route; inland-ICW(intercoastal waterwy) or offshore. 2 different boats. best, taking my grandsons to emerald isle to taste salt water. i've got a blackspot on my foot.

first step would be to define "budget", what you mean by "fast" 50-60-70-80? and are you trailering? Outboards are easier in salt water so keep that in mind, I have my first set of OB's and i'll never go back to an I/O.
