Barkers are fine, but I don't think you could get in one fully rigged for under 150k.

You keep it in good shape and I'll buy it from you down the road cause I'm not an OT baller to buy it new.

An aluminum will beat you up in chop, regardless of the size. 26' American Aluminun is more than 110k

Check out Pathfinder or you can buy any 24 footer out there.

Most of the above listed are considered a Hybrid bay boat. They have floor space all the way to the transom, a smaller casting deck on the bow and just a bit more of gunnel height.

These features allow you to fish near offshore when the weather is good.

So they are kinda like an Everglades 243

I really like those Everglades but don't care for the bow arrangement and would rather a big flat fishing deck.

An everglades is close except for the seating along the transom, the amount of options and buying from a dealer.

Most of the boats I listed, the buyer deals directly with the factory and can customize many more items. Take a Sheaffer boat for example, Ben Sheaffer the owner will send you 7 pages of options when ordering a boat and you will deal directly with him. When I was looking, it took a page just to list all the T tops and live wells configurations available.
