Go to Meredith Marina and demo a Doomswell board, while your there test drive the Tiges, then drive to Silver Sands Marina and talk to Barry, demo an Inland surfer with a Mastercraft, then drive 1/2 mile to Channel Marine and talk to Jason and demo the Centurions/ Supremes. Skip Macallans because you cant afford a Nautique ( yea neither can I). In my opinion I wouldn't waste the time on a Mastercraft, Tige would be my third choice behind Supreme/Centurion (second would be Supra but limited in the area). Moomba isn't even on my radar.
Honestly I did exactly what you're doing at the end of last summer. As my family grows I was looking to get a little more space, up until now the 21 footer was perfect. Ended up cancelling the new boat order because my SV211 goofy wave was better than anything else I saw in the area except for the new Centurions and Nautiques ( didn't want to spend 90k+). The Mastercrafts had no push and the lip wasn't defined, and the Tiges fit and finish wasn't up to par for what I was looking for.
The other thing you are battling is you are looking to buy a boat at arguably the worst time of the year. Prices aren't going to budge like they will at the end of the season.
Hope this helps and as always if you make it out on Winnisquam and are looking for a pull let me know!
