My wife and I are also looking to upgrade to a larger boat in the 28-30ft range. One thing to consider especially if you are looking for a used boat.
Consider looking off this lake and or out of this state. If you do a comparison you will find that prices in the lakes region are significantly higher than even at the coast.
You can still have a boat professionally checked out and transported up here and still save thousands.
Now that aside with the economy down there are deals in this area to be had. Also consider bank repos. I met someone who makes a living buying and selling repos.
Now many will say that no marina will service a boat from off the lake. Buying new yes you will run into that, but used if different. No many marinas will turn down work on a used boat and you have your choice since it’s used. Any service dept that works on your type of engine can perform even warranty work.
