Another thing to consider, you are going to have to get up near the 24-25 foot range to have the same cockpit space as a V.

True, but I gain all the front room that is lost with a cuddy cabin. That's why I like walk arounds... all the space of a center console with a small cuddy for weather protection.

Spare, I don't want to move up in size... I have a 22 Cruisers now, down form a 25 Allmand, and my V is down from the Cruisers...The cheaply made is the comment(s) I was looking for. Still, I'm obligated to go see the boat tomorrow, so I'll let everyone know what she looks like up close and personal.

Thanks to you both for the info. :)

OK, just got back from looking at the boat... (yes, at 12am in the morning)... Truthfully, she is beautiful. Great trailer..4 wheel brakes, zero rust, newer tires. The boat itself has all the options, trim tabs, clean, etc. Full enclousure, nice seats, etc. The problem is she's not really a walk around as I know them ... more like an indented deck so they could call it a walk around. Very deep cabin, more like a cruiser...Plenty of space to sleep several adults......luxurious... But all this luxury comes at a price..and the price is a tiny aft end for fishing... I mean tiny.. like maybe 3 feet from the cabin to the stern fold down seats? I hate to, but I'm gonna pass... and the engine is pristine...<sigh>.. And so the search continues....
