I have a owned a Haynie, bluewave, skeeter, seapro, xpress and a few others. I just bought my second bluewave from lake area and I love it. I have ridden in just about all of them, I also like the blackjack and although it is a little slower the trition is a great boat. Haynie is a great fishing machine but to me not a good fit for my young children. Budget for 60k if you want a 24 foot boat loaded and a little more if you are looking in the direction of a shearwater. Most manufactures these days make nice boats, (there are only three ormfour i would avoid) my advice would be to get the longest boat you can afford. Fishing the beach or short rigs I have never wanted my boat to be a little smaller.
