First off I recommend at least a 21' boat. If you get a 19 you'll be looking to buy again the next year, trust me. Especially in vbay, the bay can be extremely rough and the gulf can be smooth in the same day. I have a 19' nautic star and it seems to fall right between the swells every time. With your price range I'd also say the pathfinder, blazer bays, kenners, Mako (i think they are nice) and frontiers would be a good place to start looking. These are some of the makes that you can find used closest to your price range without giving up much quality/appearances or at least that's what I think. I'm waiting on a good deal for a triton, blackjack, nautic star, blazer or even those fusion pathfinders. Things are sweeeeet
