Ha!
Thanks for the plug Paul! Business has picked up recently. Actually had a few inquiries today, when I thought everyone would be eating Turkey and watching football.
I do see a LOT of boats in my line of business though. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll keep my eyes open.

i'm looking for a 31 to 38 footer with twins or triples. preferably mercurys but i'm not real picky. with a trailer, in the 30 to 40 grand range. cheaper if possible. found a few fountains around that price but the back decks seem small. i am going to try my hand in the pro salmon fishing tournament series and need a go fast boat thats fishable and trailers good.

Now thats a big, fast boat. Fountains are nice, but Contendors are the best IMO (shor tof an Intrepid). I would like to have a 30' Contendors with Twin 250 Optimax Mercurys. Fast, and decent fuel economy.

In that price range I don't think you will find much , unless its been run hard and worn out or torn up .

i found an older '89 fountain 31 with twin 300 mercurys for 30,000. the electronics are dated but the boat itself was recently redone and it has a trailer. not real crazy about buying a "salty" boat but thats whats in my price range. there is a few in that range it's a matter of what i'm willing to do to fix them up. i like a good challange so if you guys would, keep your eyes open!
