Looking at buying a launch later in the year for cruising the hauraki gulf. Day trips inside and multi day trips out to Barrier, Mokes, Mercury's etc.
Looking for a seaworthy floating Bach up to 40ft.
Ideally a well maintained boat, moderately economical and shaft drive.
Looking to spend under $50k
Seems most of the grp hulls in this range have stern legs. I would consider something bit smaller (25-30ft) if a haulout and trailer park is an option. Leg boat on a mooring isn't for me.
Here's the kind of boat I'm looking at. Appreciate thoughts re: design, maintaining, handling and practicality for a cruiser/fisher.

I know bugger all about boats so am open to suggestion. I'm already nervous about bashing into a pile mooring or other boats. I plan on offering free fishing trips to a boatless boatee to show me the ropes.
Cheers
