Hi Mike, actually we have done exhaustive research and feel about as sure as we did in the beginning! We did learn alot from talking to various people though. The guy at Boat Country said it best, " a boat is a toy, plain and simple. Get what you like and TAKE CARE OF IT, and any one will do." We started looking at bowriders, then Striper fishing boats, then cruisers. We have pretty much decided to get a cruiser (22' or 24') because we Can fish out of it, but the kids and grandkids can have fun in it too. We are looking at Bayliner because they are a bit less expensive and we WILL take care of it. Best of luck, Mike, let me know what you end up with!
Bye the way, a few "should haves"according to the "experts" we talked to: fresh water cooling Bravo engine over Alpha in a Mercruiser head and stove(sink too?) qualify boat as a second home, tax write-off galvanized trailer big tires on trailer surge brakes
