Hi Carlos,
You can't beat a Grady White. Especially the walk around cuddy cabins!
They are as solid as you can get, and hold their value VERY well. They
are available in IO and outboard. I think a Volvo diesel/duo prop is
also offered.

Other good boats include Duskey, Edgewater, Robolo and Formula. (I own a
Formula Pocket Cruiser for a personal boat.)

I would stay away from a Renkin, Wellcraft, Bayliner, Regal and
Hydra-Sports. These boats do not hold value well, and are apt to break
down a lot. Causes are mostly due to shortcuts in manufacturing.

Key West makes several good flats boats.

The main thing is to find a boat you like, and that has the amenities
you will need. A few posers. On the trip home, when you are worn to a
frazzle, are the seats comfortable and are there enough of them? Head
and holding tank? Fresh water? Raw water wash down is almost a must for
serious fishing. How about live wells? What electronics do you want and
will the console accommodate them? How many rod holders will you need.
Can the boat wear outriggers? How about a T-Top or tower? Lastly, what
can you afford?

Hi all, I am not a boater yet but I am planning to be one very soon.
I live in South Florida and I think the kind of boat that fit in my desires is
a new Walk Around between 22 and 23 feet.
The advice I need is about the manufacturer brand I should consider, Outboard
or I/O, 4 or 2 strokes. Please let me know the reasons of your recommendations
and share your experiences.
Any other suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Regards.
Carlos
