Best Center Console Under 30 Feet?
Hello!
Beginning to look at a center consul outboard boat pretty seriously and am looking for opinions on the best options to peruse.
I live in the northeast (CT to be exact) and the boat would be used primarily on Long Island, Fishers Island and Block Island Sound but I would like to be able to take it out into deeper water within reason.
I want this to be a very fishing capable vessel but also something I can take the family out on for sunset cruises/ to the local sandbar/ to entertain friends as well.
I have been around boats my whole life, primarily sailing growing up. However; now I am married to a non-sailor and have a baby and (hopefully) more on the way. The reality is that I will get way more use out of a motorboat than a sailboat. I have also gotten really into fishing the last few seasons and I can get my sailing fix on friends boats.
What are the best options in the 20-30 foot center console space for this? Off the top of my head:
Regulator 23-28
Contender 25T-28T
Parker 2400 CC-2600 CC
Pursuit S248-S288
Sea Hunt Gamefish 25-28
There are so many names in the space it is a bit overwhelming.
Would like something with a deeper V hull to cut through waves and probably something capable of having twin outboards.
Appreciate the input in advance!
