For $40k you could find a 20sh foot bay boat with lean post, flip up seating behind lean post, and some seating forward of center console and even some seating built into front deck.


Thats what I originally set out to find...and here's where my thought process landed...

I'm currently in a 19'6 bay boat w/ a 115 Merc (303 hours) 4 stroke. Paid 15,000 for it 3 years ago, owe almost nothing on it now.

The 2 boats I had decided I wanted are the Nauticstar 211 hybrid and the Robalo 226 Cayman S.

Both of those are OBSCENELY overpriced. The little brother versions of those (NauticStar 191 and Robalo 206) are just not enough of an upgrade in utility or comfort to justify spending that much on a change.

I had not really considered what an earlier poster said in just keeping this seapro as my fishing boat and buying another fam boat in a few months...but as of now, I think thats where I lean.

Rent a boat for the family to enjoy now and then. You’ll probably come out way ahead.

That's what I'd do. Boats designed to do both generally suck at both unless they are huge.
