Also you might look at boats a tad bigger, and forestall two-foot-itis.
A 27' or 28' will cost only a tiny bit more and offer surprising

====================================

That's an excellent point in my opinion. A 27 or 28 foot boat can be
cruised in relative comfort by two people for an extended period of
time but a 25 can not. The cost differential may not be that great in
an older boat, and will be certainly offset by the transaction cost of
trading up in a few years.
