Hello All,
I am looking at getting back into fishing after quite some time off and looking for a new boat. I am a rather larger guy @ 6’6” currently 340+ but that is actually changing as I am down 40 from the beginning of the year. I do not expect to get much below 280 as I am just naturally large and being an ex-athlete kind of contributes to that. So I am looking for a boat large enough to fit me, my wife and two children who are 4 and 1 1/2. My main focus is on safety and comfort but there is always budget to keep in mind. Right now I know boat prices are thru the roof but I am hoping to say below 25K but could stomach 30K. I would even consider a much cheaper option and maybe upgrade in a couple of years once I can justify the expense. So If you can help me understand what boats could work and boats to stay away from it would be very much appreciated. Thank you all for your help.
