Hey, don't you already have it?
If I go with the CS, it'll be this 24'

See where it has a capacity of 18 people?
Since it'll mostly be just me and the wife, the rest of the capacity
will be used for the fish we catch.
So that's 16 people's worth of fish I can bring in.
Big ones, medium ones, and "other."
Cool.


On a boat that size I'd want at least a small cuddy to crawl into for an
occasional overnighter. That could double your cruising/fishing range.

Some of the owners install big biminis for lounging, and I think one
has an additional erectable tent type bimini in the bow. There's so
much space available you have lots of options. Others bring a tent
for overnighters ashore on a beach.
Found this on the CS owners site

Looks like the only actual CS pictured is number 3, but you get the
idea. Having said that, to me the CS is basically a fishing boat, but
there are possibilities for setting it up for overnighters due to it's
size and openness.
If I knew I'd want to do a lot of overnighters or "cruise" for a week
or so, I'd probably go for something like a Mac 26.


If you think about it, there's enough room forward of the console on the
larger CS's to literally pitch a tent.

Speaking about small tents...I was in a local Ford dealership getting my
yearly safety inspection and quarterly oil change/lube when I saw a display
of a small tent made to fit in the 6' bed of a Ford Ranger pickup. A nearby
salesman said is cost a bit north of $200.
Thought about it for a minute, but with only one year left on my
lease....wasn't sure how much I'd use it.
On the other hand....I think it would pay for itself in four nights.
