So a haynie is "kid friendly"?

Dont misunderstand, I think Haynie's are bad azz, but I would assume most people would prefer a lined boat with ample seating. Makes "cents" to me.

Not going to mention the freeboard:p

I have a Blazer Bay and like it. My next boat would be the Sea Hunt 24 Bx

What is a freeboard?

My Kenner is a great boat, but they arent made by the original builder anymore.

He now makes Frontier and Blackjack. Very sturdy quality boats. I reccomend the black jack

Em591991 02-08-2013 04:27 PM

So is ranger and skeeter synonymous with ****ty boat? Haven't gotten any feed back

Lake Chuck Duck 02-08-2013 04:29 PM

I have heard both are wet boats. However I DO NOT have first hand experience with either brand.

I had a nautic star 2110 and it was a great boat for the kids with the jump seats and high sides. I had a 200 hpdi and it ran great

Dont get a SCB its sinks

I have a owned a Haynie, bluewave, skeeter, seapro, xpress and a few others. I just bought my second bluewave from lake area and I love it. I have ridden in just about all of them, I also like the blackjack and although it is a little slower the trition is a great boat. Haynie is a great fishing machine but to me not a good fit for my young children. Budget for 60k if you want a 24 foot boat loaded and a little more if you are looking in the direction of a shearwater. Most manufactures these days make nice boats, (there are only three ormfour i would avoid) my advice would be to get the longest boat you can afford. Fishing the beach or short rigs I have never wanted my boat to be a little smaller.

I have fished out of a ranger bay 22' and that thing was stuffed, no deck space, very small back deck...very flat running boat and not your go to type of hull for rough days....I own a Haynie now but have had 2 Kenners...I would def. look at the frontier and blackjack and blazer bays for a first time bayboat. My opinion of being in rough water stay away from skeeter and ranger...and that is just an honest opinion.

Em, meet "W". You will learn to not let it bother you. He is mad because he can't use google, his spelling returns zero results...

If you haven't done so, try and hook up with a few members on here. Members have a variety of hulls. Go take a ride with each and get first hand experience with each hull.

Ranger and skeeter are WAY too expensive.......check out the Cape Bay

I looked at the Sea Hunt dealer when I was in Gulf Shores last summer. The 22' and 24' have center consoles with a porta potty in them. I thought that was an awesome selling point if you wanted to take your wife or girls out for a day on the water.
