I'm shortly off to oz to live for a while and as I'm gonna be next to a lot of water I thought that I might try out having a boat for a while..

I've had a few jet ski's in the past here, but I've never had the need to get a boat due to the lack of places to use it.

So, can anyone give me some advice on a decent first boat?

I've been looking at the bayliner 185 bowrider with a 3.0L mercruiser engine as I thought that this would be ok for skiing and also to fish off.

I'm not sure on whether the boat will be used on lake, sea or estuary at the moment, but it will be kept out the water on a trailer, so having an inboard outboard engine isnt' a problem I don't think..

any advice on if this is the right one, or is there something else out there for me?

cheers.

Yep inboard 3.0lt Merc bowrider is the cheapest and best way in.
