Hey, Josh, if you liked the Skerray a little and the Romany a lot, you ought to try the classic VCP playboat, the Pintail.  Or the Anas Acuta, the hard chined Greenland-style boat from which the Pintail derived.  Pintails are wonderful boats --- quick, but not racers, okay in surf with the skeg, track pretty well, especially with the skeg, and are really just fun, adaptable pleasant --- and heavy --- British Heavies.  I liked the Romany a lot, but chose the Pintail for a lot of good reasons.  Have never regretted it!
