I am looking for a decent used boat for the Great Lakes, something
22-25 feet w/ a cuddy (not a walk-around). Primary purpose will be
fishing, but I would also like it to be suited for recreation/leisure.
Looking to spend b/w $6k and $12k, so probably targeting something in
the year range of 1984-1992.
I recently saw an Ebb Tide Catalina for sale. Is this a decent boat?
I also saw a nice Sea Ray, but it was on the older end of my desired
year range.
I think the Ebb Tide was a specialized fishing boat, and the Sea Ray
was a leisure boat (back-to-back seating) converted to fishing. Any
other suggestions for a decent, used, mid-quality boat? (I wouldn't
expect to find a Boston Whaler in this year/$-range, but I think I'm
leaning away from Bayliners also!)

I hear Sea Ray makes fantastic heavy duty boats. I haven't heard
anything about the Ebb Tide.
