| More info is needed for a real answer. New only? How much are you looking to spend would be helpful.

IMHO Triton makes the best boat for the money on the market... I would rec. a 21-23' Center-console as they give you more room, but over the course of a 12-15hr day on the water, they tend to beat you up more & a hardtop w/a full windshield provides more protection from the elements... That said if I were buying something under 24' I would probably buy a center-console... I also like the Yamaha 150hp 4-strokes for economy & reliability... (you may want to up your budget though;)
Stamas 2550 Family Fisherman w/225F Hondas, Sport Craft 252 FishMaster w/a 6cyl. I/B V-P Diesel & a 22' Triton Seaflight w/200 Evinrude Ficht (b/c you need 3 boats, 1 to use & 2 to work on )

| Capehorn in the 19-23 center console. 
Cuddy cabins are a toss up imo. Proline, Mako, Wellcraft are nice. Grady Whites are just too expensive. If you go with a cuddy, make sure you get a 23ft, anything smaller will feel very tight due to the fact you're locked in the back of the boat, and make sure it has a hard top with railing on the side of it so you can make it to the bow and back easier.

| Seastrike 205 or 21ft whatever you want to call it. When I was doing my boat buying I asked everyone I knew the same question. Even 4 out of the 5 guys with the 40+ ft boats said Seastrike, or it was in atleast their top three.
