What would be your second choice?
 

My first and only choice is a wellcraft Steplift My second choice probably would be ? I don't know.

I think my first realistic choice is a mako, somewhere around 23.
My first overall choice would be a 28 true world.
My second choice would be a 24 true world.
Maybe a dusky in the 22-25 range.

Yes the true world marine is a great boat but a 28 footer? Than you have to keep it in the water and that gets expensive , bottom paint, zincs I can't afford that
The wellcraft is a very seaworthy vessel and can be trailered with no problems and gets you on the water
Mako s another good boat but I like the Steplift more
Grady another great boat but I like the Steplift more
See where I'm going.

24 ft Privateer w cabin

20 ft.... seacraft
23 ft... seacraft
23-25 ft Formula/contender/Sea Vee/while water/ Albermarle series(all basically the same hull)
26 ft Bertram, not legally trailerable, and a beast of a 26, but arguably the best sub 30 ft hull out there

For my current needs and wallet the ol' Pipe Dream fits the bill. However, if I were to come into a little $$ and more free time, I could move up to the 26' range and get into something like a Fortier or even a Wasque. I have always admired the Down East design.

or this ^^^

I know, I said Down East before, but these are tremendous boats.

I understand where you guys are going ,but I meant if you had to stay in the same catagory 20 to 25 I love the Steplift and I really didn't see another boat nicer but if I had to pick,a 24 Grady would be my second choice

Yeah, if purchase price and cost of fuel weren’t an issue, definitely would look at the Grady - unfortunately they are both issues.
