I want to look for a new job but im not sure I will find anything that is better then what I have now. do I put my current job on my resume? I dont want my boss to know I am looking for something else in case I decide to stay... but on the other hand I have a ton of experience in this job. what should I do?

How would your boss find out that you are looking? Are you worried that the companies you are sending your resume to will call your current job? It would be very unusual for companies to call a candidate's current job without even speaking to the candidate first to see if they have any interest in them. Most places are also aware that people don't necessarily want to advertise the fact that they are looking and know how to handle these situations. If you are concerned and you have a phone number for the company your are applying to you can always try calling first and let them know.
