Not sure what brand boat the 3rd pic is. I would go with the Triton over the Skeeter. I know someone who as the 24'LTS and it is a nice boat. I recently traded in my Xpress HD22B for the X22B which has the hyper-lift hull. I took it out to the Mardi Gras rigs this week out of Dularge and it cuts 2' waves like a fiberglass. I was very impressed with the ride. The dry weight of the X22B is 1,700 lbs which is more than most 22' fiberglass boats. It is made of .125" thick alum and it has a V. Not sure what length boat you are looking at but from the pictures it looks like 18-20' range. I would get at least a 21'. One last thing do yourself a favor and get the 4 stroke. I had an HPDI on my last boat nice motor but you cannot compared it to the 4 stroke Yamaha. I will never own a 2 stroke again. They are very quite motors. Also I put a jack plate on my new boat at right at 6K rpms with three in the boat it does 50 on the GPS.
