My question is some boat have issues, and moving up significantly in
cost, any feedback on.

I have looked at Carvers, Nova's, Bayliners etc but do not really know
the pros and cons to look out for.

Michael-
You will need to have a marine surveyor look at any potential purchase,
so why don't you buy some time with a good surveyor and get some
informed advice before you start?
A good surveyor will have the answers you are looking for, and should
also know the market value of boats in your area. You will also be able
to evaluate your surveyor choice when you do the 'interview'. Most
surveyors would probably prefer this arrangement to the usual 'giving
of bad news' scenario.
