Or at least most of it.
Me and the Mrs. are likely relocating to Tallahassee for her new job. My requirement is a house on a lake since this will probably become our retirement home in about 10 years. I want a boat that I can take on Lake Seminole and Talquin (the most likely lake for us to live on) and that I can take down to the gulf and fish "near shore". I don't think I'd want to be more than a couple of miles off shore. Something with a V-hull, in the 24' range, and be safe on calm days off shore but get us back to shore safely when the waves pick up.
I've done a fair share of saltwater boating in my life but always in much larger vessels and I really don't want to invest in two boats, one of which would always be sitting waiting its turn.
Any suggestions for manufacturers, models etc would be appreciated.
/edit: My budget is probably $50-60K financed after down payment
