Congratulations I am right behind you starting to work 3 days a week this year instead of 6. As far as a reasonably priced boat, in my opinion you cant beat Trackers classic that they came out with a few years back, $10,000 for a 16ft boat with a 4 stroke merc and a warranty, I here the price has creeped up some but still much cheaper then shelling out 35-40 k like I am thinking about.
