best boat under 20 feet

[SDDiver5]

Oh, well, then that will most likely be a problem.

[xrispearo]

new or used? all depends on that budget...

20ft Twin Vee with 2 50hp engines.

[xrispearo]

a cat would be your best choice but hard to come by up here and they are more work trailering

caracal 180 would be the last boat you ever wanted tho.

seacraft, aquasport, parker, maritime skiff ect. all make perfect boats for diving up here (low gunnel height and high resale value)

Check out Florida craigslist and type in whaler. Better to go to search tempest and search the whole state at one time. You'll be drooling soon enough.

I love my 18' Seacraft. Super seaworthy and economical. The Cape Horns are pretty awsome.

A Twin Vee at 20ft is single axle. Super easy to trailer.

Even though that boat is new, too much money for it. You can buy a bigger cat for that money.

I've got an 18 foot McKee Craft. Great boat with a 130 Honda.

If this is still for sale I would be amazed. This boat will do anything you want and you could pull it with a Corolla.

I'll second the Seacraft, although I own a Wellcraft V20 and love it. I handpicked this hull and restored it because of it's versatility, but would probably have looked a little harder for a Seacraft before doing all that work if I knew then what I know now. I've done a little more work since the picture.
