Default Looking for a new boat!!

Just sold my Formula and I'm looking for my next boat, and naturally all the good deals got swooped up days before mine sold... lol I really like the 29' & 31' Scarabs, 92 & up Formula 303 & 336, 28' Nordics, 28 and bigger Sonics, 32' Black thunders, ect... I want to get as close to 30' or bigger as possible, and need to stay at $20,000 or under. I know that's gonna be a hard find believe me, but they are definitely out there, just hard to track them down and they sell fast. Does anyone know of anything like that not listed on the major sites already? Im trying to scour craigslist but there are a LOT of places to search. I have cash in hand and want a new boat! lol btw... not interested in Bajas or anything with flat glass or wood trim interior (at least I'm not picky right? hahaha) Willing to travel anywhere pretty much! Thanks a ton guys!

I'm a diesel mechanic / fabricator, I can do anything my man. Lol but I have Definately seen at least 2 or 3 of every single boat I listed for sale (listed as "turn key") in that price, they just get scooped up quick! But yeah I'm Definately not afraid of something that needs some **** here or there, of probably end up modifying it either way.I just don't want something rotted our something old and outdated looking

32 Predator for sale in West Michigan....
It's $20,300, might have to skip Starbucks for a month to make up the $300 overage.
I don't know the boat, but it has dock appeal.

Thanks dereknkathy! You to speedracer, see that's what I'm talking about, that predator is bad ass. Add on the swim platform, get a bimini and a pretty stripe on there somewhere to shut the old lady up, slap on the whipples I have in my basement, and that would be a hell of a setup!

Very doable. Staggered SuperHawaii at under $20K. Love the bustle on these.

Predator was listed this morning on CL when I posted. I also noticed the same boat was listed in the Detroit CL by a broker/consignment/dealer website, priced at $24.9k
