Which boat would you look for
 
Hey guys and gals,

I've decided to start looking for an offshore boat. I've been around fresh water boats my whole life but now I feel the urge to take it to the next level. I'd like a CC in the 32-35' range. Probably twin OBs. Something I can take the kids on and take to Bimini. I like to fish and just cruise too. I would like to stay in the $50-60k range.
I'm not real familiar with saltwater brand hulls so any advice on which ones to avoid vs pursue would be greatly appreciated.
Give me your recommendations. TIA

I had a 2006 Concept 32fe with twin 250 Verados and absolutely loved it. Looks like it’s also for sale now on boattrader.com and in your price range.

Concept or Renegade with four strokes will fit the bill. My Renegade has 255 gallon fuel tank and all composite construction. You won't regret going to a performance CC. Like an SUV of boating. Good luck.

I'd look at 36 Dakota or 35 Marlago, great boats, great layout for fishing/cruising , no wood in either boat. if your not familiar with outboards do your homework, there are some models to stay away from (Early pre 2002 Merc Optimax, Yamaha 250 and 300 HPDI are a few of them) 35 Donzi is another great option

I’d start big and work your way down in size as you get older. I’d start with a 41 Apache or 41 saber and 8 400 verados but that’s just me.
