Ok. I have been scouring Craigslist for about 3 weeks now and have found a few boats I liked and considered buying. They have all been sold before I get to see them. So I'm getting the word out just in case someone comes across a boat thats for sale and thinks of me 
My wife says my budget is around $2000...I say my budget is closer to $5000...in the end, something close to $3000 would be great. At first, i figured I wanted something that was nicer on inside and rougher engine so I can take it to get tuned and modified myself so I know who has done the work on the engine. Now i think i want something where the carpet and seats are kinda rough with a nice clean engine. That way I can take care of carpet and seats myself since that will be cheaper. What are your opinions on which way to go? I rather have a fiberglass boat so the ride isnt as rough, but I absolutely dont mind aluminum. I just figured if I had to chose glass or aluminum in same price range, I would choose glass. I really like those mid-late 80s Rangers. Champion, and Winner are pretty nice too. Saw some stratos I like also. But in the end, I like the look of the Rangers. Im not picky as to engine HP. Never owned a boat before so I doubt i will be running a 150hp wide open and going 70mph the first day. Being able to go that fast is a plus, but not necessary for me. My buddy has a 2013 Bass Tracker pro team 17 or something like that. It goes about 30-40mph and that seems like more than enough for me right now. And I really like the boat. Any help will be greatly appreciated. If you have any leads you can shoot me a PM or text me at (305)632-zero6nine4 anytime.
