THe boat I have now is under power and I really would not want to put anything bigger on it, the transom is a little lower. This new one is wider and deeper V, electric start, it is alot nicer. I here ya about the price. I know I could get something a lot bigger used. Don't want or need anthing bigger.
Ya I'm thinking to try and get something out of him.
Like I said still thinking about it and looking into how much it will really cost me in the end. In another month there will be a lot more used boats out there I can look at. I do appreciate the comments.

Buying used is tough in my opinion. If you don't know the seller personally, it's a crapshoot.....

Having had a few money-pits already, I think I know how you feel. I too am in the market for something...and thinking of going new. I have a 13' dory pull-start, and it's a great little boat....but my back isn't what it used to be //Sick of pulling the cord and want something bigger. There's no doubt you can negotiate the cost. It's a luxury item.
If you can afford it, which it sounds like she said you can ...the only thing you may want to think about is not limiting yourself to 14'. If she gave you the green-light, go a little bigger. Once you're out of the bay-areas, the ocean tends to bully the smaller boats. Just my 02 cents

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
