Can someone steer us to a 25-28 ' fish and family make and model that would also have a full enclosure optin for overnight use please? We also have to purchase a used model due to budget.
I am not asking for anyone to do what I should do, just some steerage from expirenced tooners Thank you kindly.

An enclosure can be custom built by any good canvas shop, they added mine to the bimini top. Don't feel like you have to buy a toon that includes an enclosure. Mine cost $1700 so that should give you an idea on how to budget.

Exactly my thoughts, will be much more difficult to find a toon that you like with an enclosure. Some like to have the boat while making the cover others just take measurements. Most are attached to or cover the existing bimini. Good luck in your search. Oh it might be a plus to have it made because even though you have a used boat you will have new canvas.

Great points, thank you both. 3 would still like to get opinions on fish and family make and model if anyone can help with their opinion and experiance.

Look for one with the fish setup in the stern, with a live well, etc. Several companies make them.

And I agree with the custom cover. I saw one a couple months back with a clear "glass" enclosure with zipper accesses at the downrigger and rodholder locations on each side -- that's thinkin'!!

Voyager makes a nice fishing model, with a nice layout that works for both fishing and playing!
