I was in the same situation, I just sold my 21 ft. Center console for a bigger boat. I loved that center but absolutely am glad to have the one I just got. Having the cab let's me fish weather and waves that I could not before. I looked at a lot of sportcrafts and they don't last for sale long and people get more than there worth up here,but they hold there value but there a good boat. I liked the 252 but there isn't a lot of room in the back with the motor cowl. Good luck. If your anything like me you will have one by snow fly.
