20 Seacraft FS vs. 222 Aquasport

[fishgutts]

New member looking for some advice...

Just sold my 1972 Aquasport 19'6. It was a great boat but had an open transom. I planned on moving up in size to an Aquasport 222 with a closed modified/transom. While searching, I came across a couple of nice Seacraft 20 FS models.

I do mostly inshore fishing with a once a year trip to the Keys for lobster/fishing and another to Crystal River for scalloping. Other than those trips, the fishing is primarily in shallow water (Pine Island Sound) stalking redfish and snook. I also have a family, 2 boys (6 & 7) and am not interested in a flats boat.

I realize most of you are probably biased to the Seacraft. I have heard they provide an amazing ride. If my research is correct, they also draft a little more than the aquasport modified v.

I would appreciate any opinions/advice that you guys may have. On either model, I am looking for a closed/rebuilt transom.
