Boat Purchase Help.

[lmannyr]

I sold my project for pennies on the dollar. Now I'm moving forward to a new chapter, "Enjoying the Waters USING a Boat."

Mission:
Cruising (mostly), sandbars, water sports, 25% Fishing, sleep overs

Budget: 40K

Waters: Ocean and inter-coastal use.

I/O.

I have been looking into the Sea Ray Amberjack. It's sort of like a hybrid between cruising and fishing. There is 3 available now at a bank repo place, 27' with twin merc b3 with 500-1000 hours on the clock for about 50K asking.

Can anyone else suggest similar boats or recommend a boat that will fit my mission. Thanks!!!

what ever you buy, if a repo, have it surveyed.

What do you guys think. Again this will be MY first boat on the water. I'd like twins but gas is a killer right now.
