Newbie to the forum.
My wife and I are considering a boat to use as a platform for kayak explorations in protected waters.
We live in central AZ so Lake Powell is in our backyard and Baja is another nearby playground.
We like the idea of being able to trailer the boat to different locations vs having a slip on one lake. We have a Ford Super-Duty as a tow vehicle.
Most of the time, it would be just the two of us but might host a couple friends occasionally so 4 berths would be nice.
Fishing is not a priority for us.
I have never owned a powerboat before and come from a sailing background. We are okay buying a used boat that needs work but don't want something in need of a full refit.
So my question (finally):
What 23-26 foot pocket-trawlers/tugs would you folks point me towards?
Build quality, condition and aesthetics would top our wish-list.
Are there other "styles" of boat we should be considering?
Budget: $50k
Thanks in advance for any feedback you folks can share,
Nate
