What I look for when inspecting a boat before I purchase.
so many different things,
The most important one is to make sure you take the time to buy what you want...
this is the best advise, there are a ton of different makes and models.. your best bet is to start looking at the site for pics of different kinds of boats and pic what suits you and your familly (if you have one)
here are some manufactures in no paticular order
hondo
eliminator
sanger
rogers
sleek craft
hornet
tahiti
liberty
nordic
beismier (sp?)
im drawing a blank now... shit any way search craigslist and post up what you find and we can help you weed out the junk
