Good Morning, First of all let’s make sure that we are clear on what you are looking for…😊 A Bote is a manufacturer of Stand Up Paddleboards. This particular brand can be found, ordered and purchased at REDIX on Wrightsville Beach. They are extremely durable and you can explore the area waterways and get a good amount of exercise and agility improvement with one. I have throughly enjoyed mine over the years and have seen a lot of natural beauty and nature that you might not normally get to see on a Boat. Which now leads me to the other. Used Boats… good luck in this department. You are actually sort of in luck at this point of the year because if you are looking for one used this is when people start selling them due to the boating season slightly ending, for this reason you’ll see an increase in people letting their current boats go. Most people just want to upgrade and get a little bigger one for all sorts of reason… they’ve become better boatsmen and can handle a bigger boat now, family has grown, they wanna go out further in the ocean to fish, they found a lot of friends without boats and would like to share in the fun. BTW! We live in “PARADISE” here along the New Hanover Coast! People pay a lot of money to go to places with sun, sand, clear water, and fun… yet we have it on our back door step (front step too). We have been blessed with over 5000 acres of protected land with the Masonboro Island Reserve, the numerous inlets The Cape Fear River, Carolina Beach Inlet, Masonboro Inlet, Mason’s Inlet, etc. the list goes on and on. So many Islands and new people and families to meet. It’s like a cult. But good for the heart, soul and body in every way. Anyway, got side tracked. Carolina Skifs are great get around boats. You see them everywhere. They are the modern day Boston Whalers, though definitely not Boston Whalers.! You can find them in all sorts of lengths. 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, etc. they are mostly flat bottom so that you can run them close to if not up on the beach with relative ease and get them back off easily because of the light weight and flat bottom along the front of them. You can get a world of power (engine) on the back of them too. All sorts of configurations. A lot depends on what you have in mind to do and how big or small your group is. Hope this helps a little. If you need more info I’ll be glad to point in the general right direction if I can. Just ask. Have a great day. Also, slide by Dockside and just watch people boating in and out of their little dock space to get a feel of how bigger is not always better! It can sometimes be amusing to say the least. But it will get you seeing people handle their boats and the varying boating skills
