Which center console boat for saltwater fishing with a head?

Question

I'm interested in getting a small (18'-25') center console boat for the family. We like to fish at the beach, in and around the intercoastal waterway, NC. I would like to have one with a head (potty) for the comfort of the kids and ladies. What can you recommend.

Answer 1

Bayliner cruisers sound like they'd fit the bill for your needs.  You can get olders ones (between 85 and 92) for a reasonable price that'll allow you to gas it up without having to take out a second mortage.  :)

Answer 2

there are probably 200 boats in the size range you gave. i suggest a visit to a boat show where you can see what's available. the price range is wide, from $18,000. to $50,000. depending on the equipment and motor or motors. used boats are an option but be very wary of a boat used in saltwater. never buy a used boat without a professional boat surveyors inspection. look online at dealers web site.

Answer 3

I really like the Scout.  They are built in your area and they use Yamaha power which is good.  I saw one at the last boat show and they looked to be well made, and the prices were good.  They have several center console models and at least one has a head built in to the console.
