Ranger introduces Sport Utility Vessel for 2008

The size, features and adaptability of the sport utility vehicle have made it become the norm for those towing boats, taking long vacations or just driving to the store. Now, the same attitude has been infused into a trailerable, fiberglass fishing boat, making it the ideal platform for a multitude of on-the-water functions: from cruising and water sports to serious fishing and long hauls.

My First Boat

I am interested in getting a boat and having it near the Ft. Myers area. I would like this boat to be able to make it to Key West and be able to handle some seas. It doesn’t have to be super fast just economical. I guess I am wondering what type of boat should I get such as a trauller or a sport fisherman and how many feet is the best. Should it be gas or a diesel. Please keep in mind that this is a first boat it doesn’t have to be in absolute pristine condition. I am pretty handy and can upgrade interior, electronics, and powerplant. I am what you like to call a “weekend warrior” in fact I prefer it. I am looking to spend around 20,000 to 40,000 maybe more it depends. So an older boat is probably what I am looking for but it has to have a good hull. If anyone knows anything that would help me out I would appreciate it.
