Opinions on family boats

[fatalbert]

Just seeking opinions and thoughts; I like old style daycruisers; SleekCraft, Sanger, Spectra, would like to have at least 24', but 26' would be better; prefer Chevy, but can work on most any motor; prefer outdrive or v-drive; You have a wife and 3 rugrats.
If you could find a good one of your choice for under 10K, what would you buy?
:cool:

I had a 26'Nordic for ten years, and it was a wonderful daycruiser. Would go 50mph with a 350/Volvo sterndrive combo. Would highly recommend these boats if one comes up in your price range. wink
