So I am in the market for a boat.. I have a budget of $5k(leaving me $500 for registration ect)
I will be finishing mostly with some pulling tubes and maybe wakeboards... prob be 80%fishing and 20%fun.
Only boat i have ever owned was a 12' Alum with a 3hp motor lol
I am up to any suggestions anyone has.. i honestly dont know a whole lot... I have been reading on the net about diff kinds of hulls and Outboard vs i/o ect but allot just seems to be a matter of personal pref.
However I think i am wanting to get an outboard due to what i have heard about not having to winterize them as early and ability to use them for a longer season(Whats your opinion about outboard vs I/O?)
When i go to look at a boat for purchase what kinds of things should i look for on/in the boat? (Typical boat wear vs abuse)
Here is a link to on one CL that I kinda have a liking for(guy seems to have 2 adds for the same boat):
