My recomendation would to be check around. Soundings, yachtworld, local advertisements for used boats. There is a vast supply of sources on the internet. Drive around and look at some of the boats that are For Sale so you have some idea of whats available at what price and you have something to compare to. Generally Fall is a good time to buy because sellers would rather not pay for storage for another winter so their asking price should be pretty negoiable. MPJ
