Looking for some direction!

I’m in the market for a boat. Trying to stay around 10k. Have always wanted a CC. I’ve had bass boats but I want a CC. Why? I don’t know why that’s just what I want. lol

I’m trying to decide exactly what would be the best. My wife and son will be with me the majority of the time. I fish the Tennessee River system primarily. But my in-laws have a house in Gulf Shores so I will, I’m sure eventually want to try out the bay there.

I’ve been looking at Carolina’s, makos, etc. But in just looking for some advice. I feel like I’d spend my time better if I really narrowed down to a small pool to look for.
