There are a whole lot of options if your price range is $10K. Bass boats have a vaiety of styles, makes, models, etc etc. Last year I bought a 2002 Nitro 17.6 footer w/115 Merc for well under $10K. My was like new and hadn't been taken out more than 10 times prior to me buying it from the original owner. Just keep in mind taxes, title fees, registration and insurance. Not to mention storage fees if you plan on storing it somewhere. Additional costs for me were upgrading the electroincs and trolling motor.
Good luck and keep us posted on what you decide to buy. And Old Salt is correct, boats are usually cheaper at the end of the season because people don't want to pay for winterization and storage.
