Hi Smothaz, welcome to Fishraider. I think your budget will stretch to about a 1990 or newer 4.8M roughly size aluminium. The three main brands of Stacer, Quintrex, Savage are the most popular and up there with the best. Just make sure that you give the boat to someone who knows what they are doing to give it a good check over before you buy it otherwise it can become and expensive toy.

As with anything if it is too cheap there will be a reason for that and when you say you want to go outside and take the kids inshore I do not think money should be the most important factor-just be patient and you will find the right boat in your price range and you will have many safe days on the water.

If you find something on say Ebay or the trading post, I am more than happy to give you my opinion of it and wether it is the right price if you post it on the forum or PM me.

Regards,

Huey.
