What is your budget?
Where will you be using it?
You may have some sort of idea of what would be ideal (most probably beyond your budget) so post these thought as well, doesn't matter if it is ridiculous or not, people will help.

Further questions, where do you live/intend mooring it?
Do you have any experience?
Roughish idea of money to spend?
How many people do you want to go with?

I live in hertfordshire and currently sail regularily with my pal on his moody 34 which is based at Shotley point,Harwich
I have plenty of sea fishing experience,I have rya yachtmaster certificate first aid and sea survival certs but no experience of owning a fishing type dayboat/weekender.
I am in negotiations with shotley marina re. mooring fees, I have investigated the park and launch facilities offered at Brightlingsea
My partner and I would predominatly use the vessel at weekends around the above mentioned areas for general fishing and goofing about

You really should post this question on the Motor Boat Chat Forum if you want to reach the mainstream motor boat fraternity
