I'd test drive, figure out what you want then save up and do it right the first time. How disappointed will you be when you spend that 10-12k and find out your not in the right boat for your application.
I don't agree at all... there are plenty of nice used boats on the market right now. I see your biggest obstacle being your tow vehicle.I have a pontoon and I don't think I would want to pull it around from lake to lake, but thats just me. Look on craigs list and boat trader and you will surely fine something in the 10-12K range it might be a older boat but it can be done.A nice 20-21 ft bowrider would be what I would be looking for. You have all winter to look and there will be some nice buys.Good Luck!!
