First boat questions.

[BCinerie]

16-18 v or semi v would be a great start. Make sure you either have the boat looked at by someone who knows what to look for or buy new. I started with a 14 ft star craft with a 25 hp. 30 years later and 8/9 boats I have a 14ft Starcraft with a 9.9 4 stroke And a 23.5 Grady 300 hp. I have had almost everything in between. I love my lunds never leaked and tough as nails. Outboards from 5hp to 300hp. Evinrude , Tohatsu and now Suzuki. Been very fortunate over the years. Take your time and pull,trigger when it feels right. Bigger is not always better. Good luck! And enjoy.
