So are Albemarle and Boston Whaler.
I had a 2002 35 exp.I loved it. It had the redesigned hull. It was a little wet, & took a while to get up on plane. I was never unhappy with the ride and she sure would raise the fishies. I spent many nights drifting for swords and more than a thousand hours on the troll. I sold it mainly because the Cat3126b's were starting to break down quite regularly, always electronic issues with sensors. To be fair though, mine were among the very first electronic "b" models on the water, they may have worked out the problems. After a few aborted trips and a few return trips on 1 engine, I gave up. The boat itself was great and I now have a 43 flybridge Cabo.

Not to change the topic, but, as a surveyor I have dealt with Loose Crew, and I can tell you that my clients have been happy with him as a broker.
My advice is to go and ride on, or even charter a couple of different boats that are in the size and price range, and see what you like best.
Find the boat you are looking for, make an offer contingent upon survey, sea trial, and engine inspection, and go from there.
Best of luck.
