What would be your second choice?

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.

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.

My second choice wound up working out better for me. I got a nice deal on a 99 22wa. It’s a much different boat but if wound up being a better fit for me and the family.
