I love Skeeter boats. Sold them for 10 years. CC’s are just a way to capture more market share. Go with a manufacturer that specializes in building CC’s. In my humble opinion you really can’t go wrong with this brand. Go and see it at the Dallas show. https://www.sportsmanboatsmfg.com/masters/227-Bay-Boat

Don't leave out Haynie. Ex wife's husband has a 25 ft Magnum and it really fishes nice. Handles big water well and has lots of room. I fish out of a Century 2400 Inshore. In my opinion one of the best CC ever built. To bad they discontinued them.

We looked at 80 brand new center consoles at the boat show and NOT ONE had room for a bait tank!!!
All deck...no floor space on the new concept boats! I doubt you would see them at a boat show in DFW, but check out the Haynie boats. The 24 HO and the Magnum definitely have room for whatever size baitwell you need, and since they are custom boats, you can have the baitwell built in to the boat when you order it.
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

Skeeters are nice and good bay boats. Just went thru the fun and stressful process of buying my third cc boat. There are many good cc boats out there. Narrowing it down to one or two was tuff for me. I found that like pickup trucks, cc boats are morphing (or copying) with many similar features now. You noticed from the rear that most trucks are the same? Boats are becoming that way too. And they say the NFL is a copycat league? LOL
And boat prices are up and up like trucks and house markets too? Doh! Love the 24 fters but they are out of my price range... Most 24ft are 70k to 90k or more.
To the OP. The dfw boat show is Feb 1. There are are a handful of dealerships in dfw with adequate cc selections. You have to drive down to the coast of you want to see more colors and lengths. But if you are happy with skeeter then I would stick with skeeter.
Off topic and helpful FYI for those considering Suzuki outboards. There are only 2 certified shops in dfw, both in Ft worth. North Texas Marine and Alliance DFW. Took my 2019 Bluewave PB 2200 with Suzuki to Alliance for the 20 hr break in service last week. I was very pleased with the way I was treated, the turn around time and the cost. It's an hr drive for me. Suzuki has 6 years warranty. Suzuki motors are all 4 stokes and for salt. They are very popular down in the coast. Majority of my freshwater lake buddies' cc boats are yamaha 4 strokes and they love their Yamahas! My freshwater and salt buddies got many different make cc boats and they all love theirs as well :)
Also for new boat folks needing electronics, I love my new minn kota auto-deploy-stow 36/112/72 TM. That TM is sweet like operating a RC man toy boat. Lol. Make sure to get the 72" shaft cuz the big arse collar takes up 10" on top.
Hope everyone finds a boat that fits your fishing style. Good luck!
