19' Cape Horn, 21' SE Parker, 20' Spec Edit Northcoastcc(all brand new)

I may get rained on here a little, when I looked at Parkers, felt that they just did not give you alot of creature comforts for the $ shelled out. I'm not talking about porta potti's, but rod holders and gear strorage.That said, alot of guys love them. Back five or six years ago they were all the rage. I just think you can get better for the money. Trying not to tread on them, cause as a North Carolina style boat, they are built solid. They have a great resale value.
North Coast does catch your eye. Have not been on one, and would be interested in their reputation. What happens when there are issues with the product. Without a reputation, resale value may be questionable.
Horn is a nice looking boat, again, don't know too much about it. A marina just picked up this line down the street from me. They look sweet. Again, think resale.

I think the NC will do well with 175. Is it the version with the inner liner, or just just the rough painted deck? I have a NC19 with the rough deck, and it is a great savings, although you do lose a little storage.

Parker is very nice, but I would not buy new. You could probably find a very low hrs used for substantially less.
