My buddy has a got a 23' Parker Sport Cabin with a 225 Yami 4 stroke. Has flushing head. We used to spend a couple of a days at a time on it when I used to comm bass fish with him on it. Had the outside station as well with live well in middle of deck. A SOLID boat, but we took beatings in any kind of sea, but we were dry and warm in the cabin. Could carry a shat load of gear that stayed dry, but still be able to sleep comfortably in the cabin. The big, big draw back of a cabin in my opinion is that it SUCKs for drift fishing with like eels, or yo-yoing, especially in a fleet because any wind at all, and the cabin is a giant sail. We had to use drift socks and work the engine in and out of gear constantly to slow down the drift so we weren't high speed trolling eels. Was an agravation. But I'll tell ya, the days we would be comin back from Sankaty Light watchin the center console guys chokin on water and we were dry, was nice.
If I were ever to get a boat, I'd go with either a 23' Seacraft CC or a 21' Contender CC. Been on many, many different boats and they shine in my eyes.
Good luck and hope you don't make an expensive mistake
