Idly musing about next boats - what is there that meets the following

- Single Outboard powered
- centre console with full walkaround deck
- Cabin to sleep 2 for the odd overnight stay
- Toilet
- Open style/no enclosed cockpit - good for the med , but with ability to have full sunshade if required
- Fast/Good seakeeping
- lots of lounging space
- Somewhere around £80k used

Axopar28 is the obvious choice.

Nimbus t8?

What else is there?

I would question an open boat for the Med eg Axopar 28
In the summer there is often a wind routine of f2 start the day, f3-4 mid day and back down to calm in the evening. I don’t see many of that style of boat and people with ribs seem to quickly move on.
Just my option, I wonder if others agree.

I'm OK with the concept of an open boat in the med (mallorca to be exact), I've been boating there for the last 30 years, so am quite familiar with the pattern of calm until 10am, then getting breezier until its pretty choppy by about 3pm then calming down again for 8pm.

Currently got a windy 25 out there, just pondering options for now.
