Hi Everyone:

I feel quite out of my element here as I am not even close to being a millionaire, but this appears to the place to be!

I guess I'll never know unless I ask. I am looking to get a used boat, basically for sport fishing and family outtings. I really like the style of this type boat (yacht):

http://www.albemarleboats.com/

I am not sure what this style of boat is called.

I realize these boats can be upwards of $250,000.00.

I have about to $20,000 to $30,000 (Canadian!) to spend on something like this and I just wondered if any of you can recommend some reputable boats names I might look for? Am I realistic in thinking I can get a boat of this style that will fit into my budget and be a decent boat? I have checked some of the local boats for sale and I don't know enough to make an informed decision. I have seen boats that look good and are of this style in this price range so I know they are out there. I would use the services of a surveyor. What is a good range for the year of the boat?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Glenn
