I want to buy a boat

I was in much the same place as you are. I looked for eight months until I found the size, style and affordability.
I wound up with a 2002 Lowe 170SE Bass Striker with a 50hp yammi.

It doesn't have "great front and rear" casting decks but sufficient. Between the decks is a lot of "low" room for my grandchildren...."safer to be lower"

Make sure you consider the "persons capacity and weight capacity" for those you intend to go with. Especially true for motor size.

I went from a 14' jon with a 15-25 hp starting place and ended with what I have.

Don't be afraid to look at an 18'...I think you will be happier. And if you look diligently and are willing to travel around to check boats out, you will find over time that all of the components will fall into place.

I got mine out for the first time this past weekend...I am happy with my choice. Now its on to fishing.
