Help me find a boat, I'm tired of boat shopping.
Hey guys I need some help boat shopping. I check on here, boattrader, craigs list, powerboat listings, ebay, etc. regularlly. So if you have something or know of someone or a dealer/broker that has what i'm looking for i'd appreciate a heads up. Looking for a 26-33' single or twin i/o. Must have hydraulic steering and K-Planes,swim platform, trailer, and a reasonably sized cabin.. Although if I had to add a swim platform and buy a trailer I'd just have to take into account my budget. I don't want anything with big power but a nice reliable power package. My prefeance would be a Sunsation, PowerPlay, Active Thunder, Hustler, Pantera, Cigarette, but I'm open to others. I have a budget of $45,000
Thanks
Thanks

To me, part of the fun in the process of boat ownership is the search and finding the right boat! It is an adventure to find and examine the right boat for your intended purpose. After all, most of us use these things to head out to open water for adventure. It's the travel that is the experience; more than the destination! Take your time and enjoy it.
