Okay so I know this is the typical situation but I need to move forward and can't figure out what's the best route. I moved up here about a year ago from Nevada. I got use to 12 months of fishin and huntin in good places, not many folks and use to my own space down there. I realized quick that trying to do that from the roads up here was a pretty tall order, particularly since I am in Anchorage. A boat seems to be a necessity.
So here it is. I would love to get to the situation where I can take my dad fishin and maybe after a moose and such but realize one boat aint gonna cut it. I don't make a ton of money so I can't afford two boats. What's the best route to go. Get a good ocean boat (which means a substantial $$$). Or, get a decent river boat and then later invest the big money in a ocean boat. I realize lots of guys have been in this situation so I am relying on your experience. From what it seems like most guys with cross-over boats end up wanting to trade up for an ocean boat. What do you guys think. What's the best route to take right now.
To be honest, I probably can only convince the wife to part with 30-40K max so the budget aint big. Any advice is more than welcome.
