Welcome Gary
Lets try and narrow this down a little bit so you can have some fun looking at the web sites where there are boats for sale .

1) do you have a price range? eg $20,000 to $50,000 or maybe higher

2) are you going to trailer this or keep it in a marina?

3) from looking at your location you might be boating mostly on the Delaware or are you thinking of more coastal?

4) typically how many on board?

5) day use? weekend? several weeks at a time? live aboard?

6) long distance running?

7) fish much?

8) happy with 8 mph or want a little more once in a while?

Gary - each item tells us something about the potential direction to look. Also playing footitis with boats is very spendy so when you are thinking about your use take a little reach and answer the questions considering the boat you really want rather than good enough for now.
