Location: Minnesota | Not a deep v but you could probably get like a 99 Lund 1610 Pro Angler with a 50 4 stroke for around that price.
Had one and loved it. Great on gas.
Good luck

| i know you said 8000 but for new boats alumacraft is running a a pretty good deal on the classic 165's for 12000 http://alumacraft.com/package_classic.html
I also think a Starcraft star fire is around that brand new
If your keep you eyes open you could get a decent used sylvan,starcraft, alumacraft, or lund for 8000 in the size you are looking for |

Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I would suggest the Alumacraft lunker 165. It is a little smaller than the classic but will do really well.
I owned one for about 5 years and really liked the boat, but with an expanding family of nieces and nephews who want to be on the water, I needed something a bit bigger.
I don't think you could find one brand new in your price range but you could get somewhat close if you stay with a 2 stroke engine. When I purchased mine back in 2000, I paid $8000 for a console model with a 1700lb trailer. The standard trailer is somewhere around 1200 to 1300 lb, which if you take a trip can be a bit on the light side.
Easy to maneuver, easy to load and unload, and you have rig that can be out on big waters too..

Location: On your favorite spot | I got an Alumacraft Magnum 165 w/50 hp Merc for 8k last year, 1998 model. Couldn't have found a better boat for 8k, in like new condition. I'd take a look at Alumacraft in general as suggested - seems to be a good value on a good boat. Deals are out there and now is a good time to look. |

Location: Racine, Wi | That boat that Slamr posted would be a great buy for you. The Dude took great care of that boat. It's set up really nice as well. I'd take a good look at it. Great price and a great boat. |
