I am looking for opinions so give em' to me if you have any.

I am looking to purchase my first Erie boat and am looking at boats between 23' and 25'. Don't really need a 27' or bigger as it is mostly me and a couple friends. Was wondering what the opinion was on 23' - 25' soft top walk arounds? I spent all last year on a hard top 27' but I have never been on a walk around? Any pro/cons or any advice would be appreciated!

Thank you
