Hi all,
I am looking for a 20-25 foot aluminum fishing boat. I have a few that I'm thinking about (for sale by friends and family) and I'm realizing that the only real brand I know is starcraft. So I've been looking on craigslist to see what's out there and I find that I either type in "aluminum" or "starcraft".
I'm looking for something that can take rougher waters (i mean... not like miles offshore, but i'd like it to handle some chop without slamming), so ideally like a deep or semi V hull. I'd also like something with a cabin of some kind for the wife and kids to get out of the sun. I'm looking at aluminum because the idea of srtinger problems really scares me.... I'm worried about such a big problem that can be so hidden.
Outboard is preferred but not required.
So in my mind, that takes a lot of the "big name" aluminums off the table, as the stuff I mostly see on craigslist (lund, klamath, gregor) are smaller boats with no cabin.
Any suggestions for other brands I should be looking at or searching for?
thanks!!!
