Please help me decide between two great Tiaras.  By way of background, I will be using the boat on Lake Erie.  I have 3 little kids - most of the boat will be used for light fishing and joyrides/day trips.  I don't envision staying overnight on the boat much at all  (if ever).  The only chance I have at getting dock at my yacht club is by staying under 30 feet.  If I want a Tiara (which I do) I need to stick with a 29 or smaller.

2006 2900 Coronet: 200 hours on 454 Crusaders 375 HP - $80,000

Obviously with the Coronet I am getting a newer boat with less hours; but I am also sacrificing the larger cabin.  

Both boats are located in Virginia.  I have given up on trying to find a Tiara close to me.

Any help/advice is appreciated.
