Mainly I want a boat for fishing. But I would like to be able to go cruise on it as well.

So basically a boat that I coulf fish and cruise with.

And I would like to not spend any more than 6000

Gause custom boats. Not sure what your price range is but I have never heard of anything better.

Make your own boat- you have the fiberglassing skills to make a box no?

I made a hydroplane in 9th grade out of marine plywood and fiberglassed it. That thing was fast- felt like it would maybe 70 on smooth water.

As far as the boat goes, Bayliner would be one to look at - a bit pricey but good quality. Since you're in Fl, I assume it will be ocean. If you want the style that Bayliner offers then its inboard all the way man!! Don't get sucked into an outboard setup - way too many problems.

You mentioned more fishing than cruising. For good relaible fishing/fun boats there's only one - Lund.

Best,

Mark

I doubt you want to spend a whole lot, so look at the used scouts{ awesome quality, they last forever, company was started by a family friend check out the website} Then look into a Pioneer, not sure how big they are down there awesome price decent quality, or check out Sailfish boats.

This is the kind of boat I would like to have.

I dont think I would buy a brand new one, but a nice used one would probably a great start.

I could still fish out of it. It would just take some getting used to. lol

I dont really have the skills to do that. I never messed with fiberglassing. But it would be nice to be able to
