Thats what i have. Love my boat but to fish 3 out of it is not very fun at times. I find its too lite in the front end and doesn't take the chop very well either. Caint wait to upgrade to a 22'

Yea that's what everyone says "Buy used". When the time rolls around and I'm ready to give some cash away I will do some looking for used boats. I just hate inheriting someone else's bad habits and laziness.

I would be fishing freshwater more than salt and I've decided that having 3 people in the boat will be a rare occasion. So as long as it is usable in say Turners bay and the lake I'm good.

Thanks to everyone for the input !!!

My buddy has a mako LTS! Its a good boat for calm water/fresh water. In a good chop you will get wet but hey what's the worst that could happen if your smart and don't fish open water in 15-20 mph winds the worst thing is you get a shower in the summer! Ain't gonna kill ya. I like his boat tho you can get into skinny water and the 90 optimax works very well

Josh Lincecum's Blue Wave would be the ticket!! I don't see how this boat is still on the market, I personally used it to guide out of while waiting on my Haynie and I cannot say enough good things about it.
Excellent boat you won't find another deal like it

I have a 20ft X-press CC with 115 yamaha. Very roomy boat and fish 3 people no problem. Have fished 4 people. I dont have the Hyperlift hull and heard it makes a difference in rougher conditions. I mostly bass fish and went from a 15 to a 20 and have no problems fishing the same spots. 3ft chop gonna be rough in most boats anyway. 20k brand new. Hyper-lift a little more due to larger HP rateing and motor.
