20' Jet Boat vs. 20' Tritoon

Holla!
There hasn't been enough boat chatter lately, so here goes: one thing I don't love about my 20' Harris Tritoon w/150 HP Mercury outboard is that there's no swim platform on the back to hang out on at sandbars, anchoring spots, etc.
What I love about my tritoon is that it's practically maintenance-free and has lots of space and we have a great resource in Melvin Village.
Someone in my association bought a 27' jet boat last summer—can't recall the brand—but he said he loves it.

So: does a 20' jet boat exist that might be lower maintenance than an inboard/stern drive/standard fiberglass but also has decent space? Our Harris is going into its 7th summer, so I'm beginning to think about what might be next.
