I'm a Carolina Classic fan and love the looks of the CC28.

That being said, I have always liked the Albin 28TE. They have some great family amenities and I really like the looks of the boat. They are very rugged boats as well.

The CC25 is a lot of boat for the money in the current market but is certainly not in the same size class as some of the boats mentioned.
