What does he want to use it for might be a huge help. There are many brands and types for many different types of fishing, skiing, cruising, you name it.
Could be a cabin cruiser, centre console, runabout, bow rider, catamaran, tri hull and plenty more. Makes it a bit hard on giving advice when we don''t have the slightest idea what its going to be used for.
He is happy to look at any that would suit fishing, he is newish to boats and just wants a bigger one doesnt matter what it is and about a $40,000 cap. He doesnt know were to look or many brands.
Blake has he considered getting a fabricator to build a Flat-Pac kitset Boat? I am building a 6.5M Hard Top with Flooding Keel, large flat deck, live well and ample shelving. See my pics for comment in the Bragg section.
I have an American import - a Pursuit 24 footer with Ali trailer. 2 x 150 2 stroke Yamahas and I am looking for $55k. PM me if your mate might want to take a look
AMM, an australian boat maker has set benchmark in the marine industry. I've AMM 6800 myself, a plate aluminium boat delivers best performance at fishing and competitions as well.
For me its fibreglass all the way, my choices, carribean reef runner, seafarer victory or vagabond but note second hand these will be a liitle more than your buget , pacemaker would be older but cheaper but may require a refurb another clasic is the penguin HUNTRIS . All of hese have deep v hulls and the most comfortable of rides. Would not touch aluminium in a fit, i have a bad back, my chiropractor wants everyone to have ali hulls so he can buy his next Lamborgini.

Don't spend all your money on beer, boats, and fishing. Save some to spend foolishly
