Thanks for all of the awesome input folks! Y'all are really helping me to see things from different angles, very educating!
FG, I haven't seen any great deals on anything, aside from that boat that Ron posted on CL. I'm not sure how much a used boat is worth, though. I was looking a little last fall, and I kept seeing used pontoons that were only $50-100 below retail, so I just figured for another 50 bucks I would KNOW the pontoons didn't leak.
The one I originally posted (CC Sport XR1) was just one that caught my eye - it had the motor mount, shallow rockers, and a low price. Aside from those 3 points, I really didn't know what to look for.
I can say that I have no interest in a stand-up boat. Part of the experience for me is being able to lounge in the middle of the lake and watch the world go by. Well, that and my balance sucks [:/] LoL
