Sold my boat and looking for another setup

I sold my boat today It was a fish n ski and the compromise just doesn't work for me just enough room for fishing and just barely for skiing and you dont get a good boat for either. I'm keeping my eyes peeled only problem is I'm not sure for what.I need plenty of seating,power,outboard, and fishing capability. I will probably buy a dual console boat with at least a 150hp for watersports. The Girlfriend gave me a budget of 2-4k
but im sure ill find something. I may save up until the spring so i can spend more. Just wanted to post up just in case anyone catches a deal somewhere.

2-4K a month sounds pretty reasonable to me....

Not really, I work for a franchise store. If I worked for Cor as a store manager id be raking it in but someday. Job markets around here are tough I think ill hang around here for awhile.

Man I am sure you can find a decent boat for that..You may have to do a little work on it .Keep an eye on Craigs list and ebay.look in peoples yards ..if you see one sitting the yard pull up and ask them if it is for sale ..you would be surprised how many good deals have been found by just asking...if you don't mind me asking what did you get for your procraft? I have a 89 that I might be looking to get rid of one day

2k but it needed a deck replacement it had alot of soft spots so that dragged the price down alot but it didnt take long to sell at 2k.

I think this one will work out alot better. The hull is alot deeper than my fish/ski so i wont have to be as picky about the conditions. Its still got plenty of power for the watersports that I do plus alot of fishing room. The deck is already painted under all the carpet so ill probably just rip it all out for easy cleaning and maybe a snap in setup. I'm leaving tommorrow morning to check it out. Wish me luck.
