Thanks guys...

Capt Lou - I had a 25 Hydrasports Vector WAC prior to the Carolina. It was probably the best riding 25s I was ever on. I like the 31 and 33 Wellcraft Coastals too, alot lot of boat there.... Albemarle is a great choice too but might be out of my price range. Never really owned a diesel boat before. I know they are more fuel efficent then gas inboards but I hear they do require a fair amount of maintainence $$ and they mighy not make sense financially unless you put more then a few hundred hours of use each year on them. We usually average 150 hours, so I'm think I'm sort of leaning towards the outboards and if so 4 strokes for sure. Power to weight ratio, fuel ecomomy reliability etc.. A lot of twin gasser inboards around too and they seem to be very aggressively priced, like 30 under their diesel peers. I'd be interested in your thoughts on this.

Jay O - Love the 28 Henriques too... Probably one of the biggest 28s on the market and I love the lines and the room you havein the engines room is awesone. They do however seem pricey compared to others, I guess because of the Henriques reputation. Unbeleiveable that they came out from the factory to give you an estimate. Got to love that kind of customer support. Surveys are definately going to be a part of any purchase for sure.
