Default Advice on buying a new boat

Hi,

I moving to Providencials in the Turks and Caicos Islands. I know the
basic boat I'd like to purchase, but there are a lot of aspects I'm
unsure of. I plan to cruise around, only for a few hours at a time. Do
some scuba diving. Only travel 10 - 15 miles from the marina. Should
be able to handle the local seas. I'll probably tow the boat in and
out of the water every few weeks.

Here are some things I've thought about...

20'- 25', center console, dual-outboard.???

What important details am I missing?
What beam width should I look for? Why one width and not the other?
What manufactures are good?
What engine size should I look for?
Should I buy in Miami and pay for someone to transport it to Provo?

Any helpful advice would be great.

Thanks !
