The link above will give you an idea what you can get for 5M-10M in the
24-26' range.

I entered in those paremters into the search engine with the key word
"cabin" and got 129 boats.

At that price range it will be an older boat, when I put in Bayliner as the
manufacture, it still showed boats that were built in the 80's and 70's, not
particular good years for Bayliner.

A friend of mine and I were talking this morning about boats and he
mentioned that his wife wants to get more involved in his boating
activities now that she is retired. He currently owns a 20 foot
Aquasport CC which is pretty much a fishing boat. The Mrs. would like
some amenities beyond a bucket under a blanket if you get my drift.

He's not sure that his spouse will take to the water all that well, so
he's considering purchasing something used with a cuddy cabin in the
23/26 foot range, trailerable and he doesn't want to get stuck with a
big dollar boat if the spouse doesn't take to Island trips (Martha's,
Vineyard, etc.). Say $5/10 K "experiment" money.

I know nothing about that kind of boat, models or types as I have
always owned open boats, mostly center consoles.

Toss me a few ideas as to manufacturers and what not if you will - I
appreciate it.
