How much are you looking at spending? You should consider posting the boat you are selling on the Idaho For Sale board: http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gfo...?forum=323
As far as a buying a boat goes, have you considered buying a newer used boat? You can get more of the features you want and spend less than what a new boat cost. Another thing to consider is traveling out of state, to Colo or Nebraska, not sure what the deal is but boats on this side of the Rocky Mountains cost thousands more than on the East side of the Rockies. Here are two examples, my friend bought his boat at Cabelas in Sidney NE after looking at every dealer in Utah and was able to get a 17ft Lowe, fish and ski with a 90 hp merc with full windshield for 4k lower than any dealer in Ut. When I retired in 2011, I started looking for a newer used boat, everything I looked at, sold almost as soon as they were posted on KSL, finally I found what I was looking for in Colo and I was amazed at how much cheaper the prices were there compared to Utah, on average they were 3k cheaper. I was able to buy a 16 ft 2003 Sylvan with a 90 hp Johnson, full windshield and a bow mount electric trolling motor for just over 10k. Here is a pic of it:
