So I've decided to forego the craigslist and used boat route and since it is within my budget, get a new boat.
One google search and my choice was alumacraft and 1442 is the widest and longest I can get without going over budget. The plan is to fish the reservoir with my 6 yr daughter, sometimes with a buddy, and maybe ride around with my wife.
I'm getting a price of 1500 all in but dealer wouldn't match ed's marina. Also refuses to deliver when 2 weeks ago he was willing for a smaller fee. Unfortunately he's the only authorized dealer so he doesn't have much competition.
I am also considering a 1444 alweld. There are 2 dealers and i have to check on availability.
Any thoughts on this from other owners?
