Long time lurker, first time poster...

I am in the market for a sub 25' dual console and am considering a lightly used 235 or the older, discontinued 225. I like the walk through transom and would prefer an additional 6" in beam on the 235 but not sure it's worth the extra $30-40k price difference. Has anyone else done a close up comparison between these two models and can speak to any other major tradeoffs or advantages?

Would be looking at a comparably powered boat, both with hard top, and 50-50 fishing/crabbing family/cruising in Puget Sound use case.

Thank you for any perspective or insight you can share!
