To do what you want I wouldn’t go below 24’ unless you can really pick your days .
Conditions on the ocean can turn in under an hour .
Bluebird day to 5’ almost in an instant .

While I did all your looking to in a 24’ sea pro .
I def got my butt kicked coming home more than a few times .(weekly)

A 26’ boat allows you way more comfortable fishing days .
While the cost is more , the time you get to use it doubles .

IMO 30k isn’t going to get you something that won’t become a money pit .
You’re looking at 20 year old boats to get in that range .
But there are some little used cherries out there if you have enough time to search .
