I agree, go 19-20Ft. And afer you get one you'd be wanting a 22-23. It is a vicious cycle and sickness.  |

You might want to look at the 20 ft Polar, you will get more for you money than most higher end fiberglass boats. The boat is laid out awesome.
We also had a 20 ft Lund Alaskan which is a great boat for bay and a little offshore, depending on weather. Very seaworthy boat!!

They are a very hard boat to come by. Will ask my friend were to get the info?? I think he told me that they were made by Taylor Mfg ??
The 2nd guy I know just bought his this summer off Ebay and had to drive to CT to pick it up. He loves it and says it is worth every penny!! Has fished the Vinyard many times this year already and out side Chatam.

My 19 foot Lund ProV is for sale still $10,900, it's a great all around bay boat and it really handles the seas well. It's a wet boat if it's blowing and your not heading up-down wind, but in a small chop you can open it up and do 42 without getting soaked. The 130 Honda 4-stroke is a sweat engine only about 248 hours, turn the key and go, quite and have you seen the price of gas  . |
