Congrats !! Excellent way to continue to enjoy all of the things you love about life and boating.
Was thinking this was a salt-water craze due to ease of maintanance,etc. but this move suggests it is also about getting more enjoyment per dollar invested. When we all think back our earliest, cheapest, least expensive boats provided us with the greatest amounts of pure joy.

The only place you'd catch me in one is if there were no more coffins left when I die. I had one once. Traded a real boat for it cuz someone wanted my 42. I turned the key and mothers covered the eyes of their children as I wept because I could hear the cooling stream over the engine. ONE day and it was GONE.
But theres a thread about that

I love to fish and cruise, the void I see right now is in the 26 - 30 market, most of the CC's in this size are hard core fish boats.
I'm in the market if anyone knows of a great deal!

Though not a performance CC I think the Everglades 243 is one of the best designs out there and is put together flawlessly. Boat runs 50+ on a single 300 and has excellent seating/features for a 24.
I like the whole EG line-up but the versatility of the 243 is the best combo for an inshore/all around CC.
