Also, most of these marinas locally want to keep their names in good standing so they aren't selling junk boats IMO. Looking around the inventory seems pretty low this time of year but there is still some decent choices around...

What is your price range?
I second Paugus Bay. We bought a used Regal a couple years back. Having a lot of fun with it. The boat was stored and serviced there. So by purchasing through the dealer/marina you get a feel for the history & maintenance. I had them do a compression test before purchase. Rick Kelly was our sales rep. Good guy and professional. Good Luck.
