I echo many of your thoughts Tundah, sold my boat in Oct. 2014, looked hard for 2 months at inter-coatal skiff types but could never find anything without some kind of corrosion or had this, but not that. Dec 2014 decided to have one built, got put on a list & God willing will pick-up this Saturday, PATIENCE, can not be over-stated. Missed the heavy hitting part of the speck season, but got a master bathroom remolded, patio poured, as well as a few small projects, so there is a silver-lining. Hope you hold out for exactly what your lookin for, good luck! P.S. I was told before Christmas was the best time too look, everyone wanting extra $$$ around that time, etc....all I can say is it will happen when the time is right.
