    Looking to buy a boat - help

    We used to have a little 13' watermouse before we moved to SWF, but it's gone and we're looking for something similar, I called it our bar boat, something we can take out for a quick spin when I don't want to get the big boat dirty, I've been checking and there seems to be more smaller lake boats out West by you guys, any ideas, thanks for any help.

    Criteria;

    no bigger than 18'
    can be a cat or V-hull, don't care
    preferably an single stock outboard
    must be able to hold 4 normal size adults....................and a small amount of beer.
    don't care if it's older, but if is, it's got to be in great shape
    preferably not new, I don't like paying for the initial depreciation hit when buying new, but if it's a deal I can't pass up, I'll look
    can't give you a number (price), the number would depend on the specs of the boat

    Oh, I forgot, it only has to go from A to B and not at 80+mph

    Thanks for any help, Jim (aka joey)

    for being a dock beater from point A to B looks like low maint. also but would not impress so it would still be there when you are ready to leave......................

    The pic of the boat I posted is an outboard, it just doesn't have one on it, you can buy the boat without an engine, that was the pic I posted.
