Fish/Ski style boat wanted

Looking to purchase a Fish/Ski style, Deep Vee, 17'-18', aluminum hull boat.  Not really set with any manufacturer of motor or boat, but a dual motor set-up would be preferred.  Looking for a boat within the PA, OH, WV area if possible.

    Thanks for the additional information.  I was ready to purchase the Mirrowcraft that was on this site earlier, but never got a chance to look at it in person.  I'd say that I'm most interested in a fish/ski boat design much like the Mirrowcraft dual impact series.
     
    Thanks to both of you again for the additional info.

    Rush2112... a word of caution...

    check with your local notary about transferring a tag from an Ohio trailer to PA. It may be a real pain or very simple, but go in knowing that PA is a PITA state for registering some out of state trailers. I don't think Ohio inspects their trailers, so it may be a hang up with PA to get it inspected before it can go through registration.

    I went through that with a boat trailer I bought in NY, ended up having to have a certified inspection and all kinds of BS to get it registered in PA. Almost the same BS when I registered one I bought in NJ.

    I'm not saying it should cause you to not look out of state, just be prepared for PennDot BS.

    She's right, PennDOT can be a major PIA. Make sure that you get a title for the boat, trailer and motor (newer ones anyway). Some states don't require titles on trailers, some don't require registration, PA requires both and it is a real pain to get one registered that wasn't at least registered in another state. I was actually told by my state reps office to lie and say the trailer was home built, I didn't. Ended up selling the boat before I got it straightened out, the guy that bought it just bought a junk trailer with a title and uses that plate. The trouble you'll find with most fish/ski boats is that they aren't really great for either. Good luck in your search...
