I have a 21' Steiger that is plenty big enough for most applications. When it gets snotty the pilot house keeps me warm and dry. During cod season I put the screens on and turn on the heat to stay toasty warm. Don't buy a boat because of looks but rather build quality and functionality. Spend some time researching boats and try to get on as many boats as possible. You should feel safe and secure on the boat. CC boats are great for casting and 360 fishabilty but a cabin boat has its merits as well. Don't let the speed factor play into it either. Very few days can you run 40-50 mph. Also as boats get bigger the expense does too.
