Default Re: Inshore and offshore?

If you are considering getting something used I'd stick with the higher end center console brands since they are well built and hold up much better over time.. On my short list would be Contender, Regulator, Yellowfin and Boston Whaler but they are likely going to be out of your price range. . You might find some older Mid tear brands in your budget like Grady White, Cape Horn, Proline, Aquasport, Wellcraft, Parker and Rabalo.

Some great much older hulls that I would not shy away from that you may be able to find in your price range are Sea Craft, Intrepid, Formula, Pursuit and North Coast. If the motor is tired could consider one and repower it but a new outboard is going to cost you at least $20K with rigging.

Good luck in your search and as you come across stuff feel free to check in here to get opinions.
