Hi all,
Relocating back to the Island (finally!) and am in the market for a new or a new to me boat. Looking for something up to about 19ft and am debating the cuddy vs 'standard' set-up and new vs used. My wife would surely enjoy the additional coverage a cuddy provides (plus I am still keen on sleeping in the boat if conditions allow). I know the options are endless and opinions about the same but I will venture into requesting thoughts here should anyone wish to provide some words of advice. At this point, I am debating something used with the works already together and slightly larger or new everything (i.e. new Double Eagle 166 rigged out vs used 18' Campion rigged out). I've owned a few boats and operated many and like the knowledge of 'new' but I am just plain spinning my wheels right now. I am looking at 30K all in. Guess it is a tough problem to have?
Thanks in advance.
