Wow 10k is a tight budget.
If you get a boat for a decent price and it's a good boat, you probably won't lose any money on it apart from upkeep, which can be cheap if you're lucky and careful.
So think about maybe a loan to increase your budget. I'd not have wanted to live on the Centaur! Isabella was tight but OK for two with dog.

Was considering a cheaper boat to originally be a stop gap, but instead will heed your advice and consider an initial more permanent measure.
Will keep Isabella in mind, she looks stunning and has a lot of features I'm after. The Christmas picture really sells her well.

These have been the other sorts of things I've been watching so far. St Kats mooring is the same price range for 10.1 to 19m boats.
Will update if I go any further from here, but thanks for being so helpful.
