You can get a good idea on prices by checking Boatrader.com, usedboats.com or one of the other internet sites for used boats. You can scroll by price.
He's my advice for what it's worth......
I'd be looking for an outboard because you can tilt all the way up for beaching and poking around in shallow or rocky water......4 cycle because they are quiet and better for the enviroment......at least 100hp so that you can get away from approaching storms.
A 20'er is a good choice....easy to trailer and good enough, even for the broads in Winnipesaukee on a normal day.
I'd look for one around 3-5 years old with low hours. There are lots of people out there who, due to tough times are wanting to sell........make an offer.
