I was in the same boat a few years back. In the end I went with a wood boat, because I could get one dirt cheap. Wood gets a bum rap because it is high maintanence and heavy, but there are some advantages as well. First, even though the resale is not great, you can get a nice boat fairly cheap if you are willing to put a little work into it. So if take a dive on resale you haven't really lost that much money. Honestly, if I can afford it my next boat will be fiberglass or aluminum, but if I can't afford those, I'll gladly get another wood boat.

If you go with wood try to store it under a shelter.

Check out the trailer thouroughly. Because of the weight you want a trailer that is easy to load and unload. Also it needs to be well balanced. If the boat rides too far forward you wont be able to lift it off the tounge or wheel it around by hand.

Most importantly, regardless of the material teach your wife or a buddy to row, otherwise you get stuck on the oars and fish less than you did back on the bank!! Have fun.
