Well, that's a stretch, but let's say you can pull 5K comfortably.
That's reasonable and actually within the range of towing capability
rather than the extreme.

We have 3 in our family but there might be more up to 5-6.
In the summer we can go anyday and it will only be on sal****er. And we will
used this boat for fishing and some crabbing. I would like to have the boat
equipped with some of the good fish finders/depth finder and radio so if I
get into trouble. also maybe a compass and gps.

$22,000 is a decent price - probaly will get you something good used.

I have a lead on something in the 20 foot range if you want to drop me
a email, I'll give you a name and a number to call. The boat is
priced right, has a ton of equipment and you will make out good. I
have nothing to do with the boat, I've only seen it and know where it
is and how much they are asking for it. It comes highly recommended
and it will not stretch your budget (hint - hint - cough - under ten -
cough)

And it's relatively local to you.

Thank you for that tip but right now we're not ready to buy(don't have the
cash yet). We are expecting to but around june or july. I know that's a bad
time so we might wait for next season. It all depends what comes up. Can you
recommend a service that inspects boats that you're about to buy?
