Hi everyone, im looking to purchase a used boat in a few months and was
wondering if age should be a large consideration. Im looking at using it to
go fishing out in the bay and maybe the ocean. Im thinking around a 22 ft
but not certain. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Dont get a 22 footer. Dont go any smaller that a 48'. That bis the
smallest size you should ever take in the open sea.
