My daughter is looking for a used 19' or bigger bay boat. Price range $10-$12,000. Will be a family boat, so must be dependable.

Why used? They can get a new one, with warranty for around that or just a little more

Don't think I've seen a 19 foot or bigger bay boat for $10,000. or 12,000.

Don's Boats has an 18V Kenner with a 50 Merc and Galv trailer for $9,995.
And you can probably beat these prices for Carolina Skiffs in your area

She has a lot of options for the money she's talking about. I would never recommend a Kenner because of the low cut transom. Besides, a 50 merc is way too small for an 18V. Got a friend who has an 18V with a 90 Merc. Couldn't stand anything smaller on the back of it.

Gotta gop with CS on that.. A 50 is no way enough power.

How about these new ones...

Trout Fisher has a nice one for sale on this board. It is a good solid boat.

It's 17 foot ain't it. She's got 3 kids who have been fishing the gulf with me all their life, but she wants a 19 foot for them. I'll tell her about it anyway. I'll give her the site she can see it.

"This is a 19' cc with a 115 hp Johnson. Comes with a spare prop"

TF. I'll call her this morning. She live outside Poulan.

Pulling it to Ickyfeenee tomorrow. Gonna fish Sunday too. I'll have it cleaned up and looking good as new first of next week. The hatch covers are being reupholstered next week.

It holds three of us for scalloping and fishing - and I ain't small Would be a good family boat.

Have a look at the cape craft line..They're priced pretty reasonable.
