Look into a quality boat that may not have the name of a Ranger or Triton to get more for your money. Bullet or Nitro may be a couple examples but an even better example would be a Norris Craft. Just make sure you get something big enough to fit your needs, has a motor that runs well/gas friendly, and no electrical problems. You get what you pay for and no doubt Ranger, Triton, Bass Cat and Skeeter are the quality but the lesser names can give you just as much or nearly as much quality for less. For 23k in a Norris Craft you can blow nearly every Triton and Ranger off the lake in a 20ft boat if you look, and if you are willing to drive to Tenn to get things worked on they are very friendly and great to deal with.
