The Sisu 22 would be on my list as well. If Eastern builds it the same way the original Sisu models were built it would have the option of the raised windshield with a soft top. The pictures I've looked at on their site show a hard top similar to the other Eastern models. The nice thing about either the Sisu or the Eastern is that they perform well with relatively moderate power for their size. They won't win any races but I'm pretty sure they'll cruise comfortably in the 20 MPH range.
The C-Dory's have a pretty loyal following. One of our neighbors has a 19 footer with the cabin and a 90 HP Suzuki. He really likes only needing to deal with the aft curtain. It's a cool looking boat. The only thing to consider is that they are pretty much a flat bottom boat so if it gets choppy you'll need to slow down to displacement speeds (off plane) or the ride could get pretty uncomfortable. I believe Y Landing carries them, you might be able to take a test ride and see if this would be a concern.
