Am interested in buying a boat when I return from Iraq.

Would like input on what kind of boat I should get.

Will use it for freshwater and saltwater fishing.

But will also use it to go to the Barrier Islands in the Gulf of Mexico.

looking to spend between $10,000 and $20,000

I would go with a MAKO Boat, inshore model. They are made by tracker Marine.

Mako marine international-no association with Tracker.

Serious, high quality boats.  I owned a 2502cc  for 3 yrs, best hull I ever had.

Triton also offers boats that would be suitable for both salt&fresh.  

you have tons of options in that price range.  Narrow it down and you'll get some better answers.

I beg to differ LBH Mako Is owned by Tracker Marine.
