Which boat for $125k
P
I'd buy used and fix up a Boat. You could hire a mechanic for 6 months with that kind of money and have him build you a fine craft. So many used boats for sale , I would never buy new . I see guys pay $200,000 plus for a New Downeaster Boat. You could buy the Hull, Cabin, Deck for less than $50,000 and put in the rest for about $50,000 or so. I bought a new 25 Foot Eduardono Panga Boat for less than $14,000. The only Boat I'd ever buy new. 50 HP Etec Engine will push me over 20 knots and I'll burn 2 gallons a trip.

Very nice and congratulations! One minor comment: is there a reason the TM was mounted that way? Could it not be mounted along either the port or starboard gunnel? Looks a little intrusive, but again, I'm just going off a picture.
May she bring you, your friends and family many years of enjoyment and happiness.

We decided on the 2022 Robalo 230 powered w/ 250hp Yams ?
And we caught fish on both!

Excellent choice! Good luck with it and keep us advised of your catches! Best, Lep
"Luck" is when preparation meets opportunity.
I prefer fishing evolution to fishing extinction.
If ya want to clean up the water, ya gotta get the pigs out of the creek.

Ironically it came out to $125k with the spot lock installed out the door to get an idea of current pricing ?
Good Luck KAL!

Congratulations, awesome boat! I had a ride on a 20 and 22 for quite a few years. Always got us out, but most importantly.............always got us home in some not so nice stuff.

Could be wrong, but it looks like a King Mackerel to me.

I caught a lot of King Mackerel while living in FL in the early 70's and I believe Lep is right. Mouth and teeth along with shape are all consistent with the southern "Kingfish". Kind of rare to see those up here.
A few years back while visiting my father in FLA he booked a charter with a local guide and we launched out of Clearwater and fished the Gulf. I was zoned in on grouper while my father was catching one after another of these and having an absolute ball with them on light spinning gear. They did alot of swimming and circling of the boat we were on and I remember having to keep pulling my line up to get out of his way LOL 😛😛
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.....
