Life after a SeaCraft ?

[abl1111]

Thinking of selling my girl - a '75 23' Tsunami. Been 16 years since my resto. She runs great and is perfect. It's the natural progression - wanting something different for the sake of something different.

My question - what 24'-26' boat rides as good as or better than our beloved SC. I know I speak blasphemy but there are other boats - I'm looking for either a cuddy like my Tsunami or a CC

It is hard to even consider this move asI brag about my boat all the time and really have no boat envy. And, its not written in stone but I'm dabbling... I'm not that much of a speed demon, cruising usually at 26mph but I do like a boat that runs in everything from a short 2'3' chop to larger swells, and in all sea states. It must be built like a brick sh*t house. Not rock when fishing. Be dry. Fuel efficient as possible for a deep V or variable deadrise... For coastal fishing but mostly beaching and getting from point A to B. Sounds like the Holy Grail !

Boats I like:

245 Edgewater
26 Regulator

Have thought of Rambo, Conch, White and Bluewater, Competition, SeaVee, Contender, Carolina Classic ( too much of a fishing machine ). Boats like Whaler, Parker just do not have the ride I've become accustomed to. I love the Carolina Classic 25 but its a lot of boat and really for further offshore fishing than I do. If a 26' Fortier was faster....

Also, many of the boats mentioned are too $$$, have limitations or less than desirable attributes...

Thoughts ? I know I know... blasphemy...

Please - At this point, don't ask about the sale of my boat - if and when I sell her, I will put her up for sale here giving enthusiasts first crack..

Thanks for your thoughtful input...
