I think it should be emphasized that this is a list of project boats.

The original poster stated that he did not want a project boat and it
certainly appears that between his eagerness, lack of experience and
unfamiliarity with the language that he might not readily grasp what these
boats might entail.

Sorry, I realize I'm guilty of yet again not making his life simple but I
don't see a "simple" in here. He wants a ready to go boat from 25-40' for a
max of 11k.

There will be plenty of brokers eager to push their own list of clapped out
boats on him and sell him on the beauty a life on the water. I don't think
we need to do their job for them.

While it's apparent that you've got a very long learning curve ahead of
you
(it seems you haven't any background in boating so don't know what to
specify), the other responders haven't made your life simple.


http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi...pbsint=&ps=100

is a URL for the search you want (you'll likely have to cut and paste the
lines unless it wraps when you click on it, to get the full address).
When
you have narrowed down your parameters, you can reduce the number of boats
presented, but for the moment, at least, there's 377 power boats from 25
to
40 feet at under 11,000 USD listed.

When you dump the new boats with no prices, that number reduces. When you
dump the parts of the world you're unwilling to explore, it reduces
further.
When you go from 'all power' to the various (it allows you to select more
than one category of power boat) which are actually important to you, it
further reduces. However, there will still be lots to consider.

Once you've had a look at some of them, go back to the 'advanced search'
button (well, shaded area at the left of the page) and refine this search.

I don't think you'll get any other than a very project boat in your
budget,
but at least it's a place to start.

FWIW, you can see some of the recent threads about my searching; whether
you
agree with my methods, I can tell you that it will produce lots of boats
to
consider...
