My THANKYOU option vanished on post #16, so I want to keep the Thankyou's coming.

So many scenarios to consider. The mention of spending more in the long run on maintaining the boat vs spending up now is on my mind. My thinking for now is to try to stay in the 4k price range and try to find a cared for machine. If disaster strikes I will be able to make some repairs. If I throw 3k more at it now, I will still be buying an approximately 10 yr old boat. That concerns me because its 10yrs of who knows what type of care, BUT its also could be a 10 yr newer craft. So my head keeps juggling these thoughts back and forth.

Can anyone recommend an experienced boat tech that will travel the area to do a PPI?(
pre purchase inspection).....the area being the Lakes Region and possibly to Southern NH.
Again Thankyou to each and everyone here.

I would recommend Matt at Supreme Marine for a PPI. Ed Malen with Signature as well. Both work mobile.
