Question for the board on boat choice

[MidnightCowboy]

Hello folks, I posted a week or so back about looking at a nice Mako to get some ideas about Mako boats in general anyway long story short the deal fell through. Now I'm asking the board about other boat makers or some of yall's likes and dislikes about other boat builders. I'm going to be looking for a used boat, full transom, Walk-around Cabin, 24 to 29 feet and trying to go no higher than 35k. I've looked at a couple of Chris Craft seahawks, Wellcraft coastals, Grady whites,and blackfins that fit the bill but I'm trying to get some other perspectives and maybe some builders I haven't thought of. Also looked at a nice Parker just cost too much. I'll be using the boat in the Gulf fishing the rigs and Galveston Jetties. Thank yall in advance for your thoughts.

I love the W/A design. Room to fish off the bow is a must. Look at the depth and width of the walkaround .. it doesn't always go along with the boat length. Good luck.
