I'd like to buy a 18-24' used boat--maybe an open bow or possibly a cuddie cabin. How do boat mfg. rate?
looking for a used boat. Boating is new to me..and I'd like to know the better manufacturers from the weaker ones
Well if you don't know much about boats and are looking to buy one, you can go to Nada and get a "Average" price of what you are looking at to see what the value should be.

Of couse the condition of the hull, engine and other wear and tear come into play also and it may be worth your effort to take the boat to a marina and have a mech. go and do a checkout of it, they will charge you for the time, but it may be better than paying a lot for a piece of junk.
Also make sure you get a boat for what you want to use it for, don't get a river boat for the ocean or a lake boat for the river...
If you have other questions, drop a note.
