Welcome and that is a great boat! Like the others have said “check for soft spots all over” I’m a gear head not a fiberglass guy so I tend not to be scared of the mechanics over the structure. If you’re mechanically inclined and can fit in small spaces you are good!Looking for a first boat, I have 10-30k I'm willing to spend. Boat will be used in Rhode island waters in Narragansett bay and I would like to be able to take it to block island occasionally. Opinion on size for this type of water would be appreciated. I'm leaning towards 24 feet instead of 27 while I'm learning unless people have reasons why 27 would be better Bellow is one boat I am currently interested in. . Would love to hear thoughts on it as well.
