Shearwater vs Champion
 

If money had nothing to do with the purchase which boat would you buy ??

shearwater 25 ltz because of the speed factor vs the 25 seachamp

Oh boy here we go,another boat thread. Between the two I would go with shearwater,champion is out the the boat game.

Shearwater

Stratus picked up the name....

U want a champ..... Go get a ranger..... They bought em:)

Only the bass boat line,bay boat is history.

swearwater all the way

Haynie!!!! Just saying!!!

yea my bad they are all under the same company now...

Did not like the haynie !

Shearwater . . . .

Haynie

shearwater....not really a comparison of apples to apples

Yellowfin if moneys no object

Word those Yellowfins are sick

Arguing over which boat is better is like arguing which supermodel is hotter. At the end of the day the result will be the same.

You don't think 25 is to big for inshore? Just seems like one of those sizes that's to big for inshore but not quite big enough for offshore.

for the marsh yes to big but dirfting canals/reefs in hopedale in the winter and bretonsound trips in the spring....perfect. could run into east bay and snapper fish. if the weather looked decent i would run 40-50 miles offshore in a 25ltz no worries

No comparison between these 2 boats. Shearwater 25 LTZ
But my choise would be a 24 ft Yellowfin.

I hear you. Perfect world you have 3 different boats for marsh, bay and offshore. I guess everyones goal is to find their medium middle. I run a 22 bay ranger and have done east bay and Breton sound. Have not ventured offshore though.

GOOD buddy of mine has yellow/black 25ltz been in that and 24 champ.....no comp. hands down shearwater......

243 everglades

if money were no comparison i would have that 42 foot invincible and i would quit trout fishing and just offshore fish

ranger bought stratus and champion. I had to order my Champion parts from Ranger

if money is not the issue... neither. the reason a champion is heavy. rides great but dont float shallow. neither does a shearwater. the a$$ end sits low in water. been in both. trust me. if u want a boat that rides great and floats stupid shallow give me a call and I can line u up wit the Lake and Bay guy. I have been in a ton of different boats and Lake and Bay is by far the best riding one I have been in. That is why i bought it. Cant say anything bout how a yellowfin floats because I never been in one but i bet they are nice, All are great boats. But it depends on what u want it to do. I promise a L and B Floats way shallower than either and rides unbelievably good. And hauls butt. If u dont believe me I will let u come ride in mine. Dont mind lining u up with them
