First Boat

[happycarper]

Hi guys please help, need some advice. I am new to boating and want to buy my first boat.
My preferences:
1. It will be used 70% on inland dams, 30% offshore fishing
2. Not too heavy to tow, launch.
3. Be able to handle the surf without too much trouble
4. Space for 3-4 people fishing from it.
5. Reliable motors
6. My budget is 50 to 65k.

I am currently looking at a Stingray 5.2m rubber duck deep v with 2 x 50hp Mercury motors, price 65k (don't know if this is to much for the boat)

Hi,

I am in the same situation. I was leaning towards buying a Jet ski but decided against it for a few reason..

I am looking for a 5.5m gemini deep v, but they seem hard to come by...

Ek het gekyk na die Ski Vee 500 Sport, baie moeilik om te kry en 2de handse pryse is bokant my budget.

Laat my asb weet as een van julle so n all round boot gekoop het en wat sy performance is. Dink ons soek n baie spesifieke boot vir ons dubbel doel gebruik. Hy moet genoeg spasie he op deck en n trolling motor moet op hom gemount kan word.
