For that much $$ you need to be able to pick your color - MHO.

Tin, me thinks you need 2 boats. Get yourself a little Sundance skiff or carolina skiff. I say sundance cause they make a B20 with the semi-v on the front which is similar to the Carolina Skiff 198 semi-v but wider and nicer in my opinion. When I was looking not too long ago I could have bought one brand new with new trailer and no motor for $7500. Add a 115hp for around 1500 and you've now got 9k in a dang good boat.

After that's all done and you're all happy and stuff, find you a V20 for all your serious fishing (over ankle deep that is).

Should be able to get a real nice used V-20 or V-21 for the other 9k you have left over after not buying that Panga.

I wish I had two boats (can you tell?). ;D
