Looking at center console boats for purchase

[Ranger R]

Back looking at center console boats again. While my boat seems to stay at the mechanic, it might be time to make a move. So, I need pro's and con's on the following boats:<br /><br />Bluewave 22 foot with recommended Fourstroke <br /><br />Keywest Bay Reek with recommended fourstroke<br /><br />SeaPro SV200CC with recommended fourstroke<br /><br />or any other 22 foot boat under $35K..<br /><br />What do you think about liner versus non-linear boat???<br /><br />90% of the time I will use it for Central Texas Open Lake fishing<br /><br />10% in Texas Coastline,Aransas bay, in 2-4 foot of water....

Blue Wave is popular in TX. The new NauticStar 2200 looks like it could handle big water. But I have no idea if it will squeeze under the $35k threshold. In boats this big I prefer linered, of course that will increase the price. Big roll gunnel vs smaller linered (for same $$) would pose an interesting choice. How tough is it to get demo runs there?<br /><br />Kelly Cook<br /><br />PS - Seems like you already got an earful on RodnReel - Bay Boat Recommendation-1st time to post!
