Haven't been here in awhile due to family stuff, but I'm looking to buy a boat for going to Catalina from Dana Point so I can scuba dive. Any suggestions on one ? Id like to be able to go to Lake Mead with it as well for vacations, skiing and such. Any recommendations on a "dual purpose" boat would be great. Budget is up to $40k. I looked on Boat Trader, too many listings to sift thru, not sure where to start to narrow it down.

Thank you

iL try,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I would not plan to consistantly head to the island with anything less then a 21 footer AND a kicker motor.

AND at least a 40 gal tank But More would be better.

Everything else that you mention,d could be done with a 17 + footer easily

Many on here are ALOT more worthy of advice as far as the salt is concerned .

Im sure that Monday morn you will get quite a bit of advise.
