Looking for 17-18ft aluminum

[JoshS]

Hey guys, I have a friend shopping around for a boat. He's looking for a 17-18ft with a full windshield or dual console. He's hoping for wide beam, rear flip up seats, bimini, cover, 80lb tm, swing tongue trailer, etc. He's not dead set on dual console but would be preferred. He's hoping for something kind of newer, nothing too dated. If anyone is selling or knows of something out there, please pm me and I can link the seller with my friend if the boat looks like it may fit. Thanks

Maybe give us a budget, any preferred make, HP etc..

[JoshS]

His budget would be around 30k give or take on the high end but would prefer to be around 20. He's pretty open to look at all options.

He's not fixed on any brand. HP would depend on the boat but nothing underpowered. Hope that helps.

That should give him some good options. All I would advise is he should research brands while he's shopping. There's good info right on this site if he uses the search function. Lots of great info on the reliability, ride and comfort of the major brands. Good luck!!

https://www.boattrader.com/ and Kijiji are great spots to do some research on what's in the market.

Being fall ... may get a better price.
