Which boat to buy
 

I am in the market for a 20'-24' center console that I can use to ski/tube/cruise with the family and also do some fishing. We do more ski/tube/cruising than fishing but want the ability and will do more of it. I currently own a 2003 Cobra Performance 210 Copperhead with a 454 and jet drive. It is a beautiful boat but not versatile at all. I live in south Louisiana so I will use the boat on rivers, two large lakes, bay and offshore.
Looking for input (direct experience and or knowledge) on the two boats I have my eye on.

23' Concept center Console with a 300 Optimax for about $47,000 (really like the looks of this boat)

22' Velocity center console with a 300 optimax for about $53,000 (really like the speed and fuel milage of this boat)

Both boats would be built to my specs so options are about the same. I am looking for knowledge of
Quality, speed, efficiency, resale
Also any suggestions on similar type of boat to look at.
Thanks!

Predator Powerboats has a nice 25' center console with a 300 Evinrude on it. very low hours, looks to be a very well built boat. Is in the classifieds, somewhere in the mid $40k range i believe.

Did not see it in the classified section. .
