I like the MCOB layout as it let's you take more people out but still have a boat that will be good if you run into some snotty water. Envision made a few models and has a 36 that has a ton of rear deck seating plus the MCOB. I have seen a few reasonable but it's hard to get much info on their build quality as there aren't many around. I'm just partial to them as they are what the Pachanga turned into. The Sunsations are really nice and prolly a little more offshore worthy than the Envisions. If it fits what you want to do I'd go for it, an MCOB will be on my list for a next boat as it would work great for around here in the Bay and Rivers.

It seems with the hull technology today, a lot of under 30' boats are running single BBC's and getting pretty good performance out of them. If I could find something capable of 60-70mph, I'd be happy.
