I currently have an 85 16'4" Baja FishNSki with a Johnson 90 on it. Great boat, but with out question a lake boat.

I would like to upgrade for this season. I have always liked the idea of a Cuddy, something in the 21 - 23 foot range.

I would need to be able to tow it with my Grand Cheokee V8 which tops out at 6k lbs.

Budget 14 - 18k.

Few questions, hoping someone could help me out with.

I have found a few great boats like a stingray 22'. I want to use it in salt water and most likely end up docking it in salt water. Is getting an I/O a bad idea? Should i be looking at Outboards only in this size?

Most of the outboards i find are really fishing boats with walk arounds.

Any recommendation for used models.

I like the Maxum, Four Winns, Stingray models but am certainly open.

Thanks,

Garrett
