Frontier vs. Nautic Star
 

I looked at a 1810 Nautic Star with a 90 Yamaha and a Frontier 180 with a 115 Suzuki. Can't decide between the two. Any advice, opinions?

Frontier, NS is nice but if I were buying, Frontier no doubt.

I have the nautic star with the 115 2 stroke and I like it. I cruze at 38 which is cool with me. Not sure what the 90 would do. I got mine in 08 and it's just the 18'. Think they came out with the 1810 the next year and it is nicer.

Frontier with the Zuke

If u go frontier H & H marine in Houma is the place to go !

Tops out around 37 with 2 +gear and 3/4 tank.

I just bought a Frontier from Kyle at Lake Area Marine. It is a 21 but I am very pleased with the boat and even more pleased with the service I have gotten from them. They are good people and have no doubt in my mind that if I ever need anything they are there to help!!

I have the 1810 Nautic Star with a 115 yamaha 4 stroke and love it. I've gotten it up to 46 mph with a full tank of gas and by myself. I bought it in Baton Rouge at Aqua Marine and was 100% satisfied. My salesman's name was Chip. He never pressured me on the sale at all and was the chepeast I found in Louisiana by a good bit. Good luck on your decision.

I think the frontiers have more room!!

I looked seriously at both boats. I was impressed with the Frontier'shull design but I wanted an all composite boat. (no wood) So I bought the 2110 Nautic Star and am pleased with the boat. With Yamaha 150 4 stroke it runs 49mph.

Frontier has no wood!!

That must have changed since 2010! I think these are 2 of the most bang for your buck boats.

That's where I got mine too. They beat everybody from slidell to Lafayette.

I agree!!

Yep, I was very impressed with them there. How is their service department?

Mine hasn't been back since the first service but I had no problems.

I just ordered a 2110 SE from Dockside Marine in Bogalusa. I had quotes from 4 other dealers, including Aqua Marine in Denham and AM was the highest of all quotes by 1.5k. Either way, call around for the best price and talk to the salesman to get an idea of a dealer you feel comfortable with.

I'm bumping this old thread because I'm looking at these 2 as well. Any more opinions?

Chad is a good dude and you won't be dissatisfied with the service they offer.

Anybody lookin to buy from Dockside...gimme a holler and I'll see if I can help ya out.

If I go with a Nautic Star I'll probably buy from Redmonds in Lafayette. If I go Frontier then who knows.

Frontier, go with Lake Area Marine!

I bought my Frontier 190 from H&H in Houma. Shawn was great to work with and I felt they gave me a good deal and their service is fantastic. I went to Lake, but didn't get the "warm, fuzzy feeling" if you know what I mean. From the reports I've read on SC, I'm sure Lake has excellent service also.

I would also throw a haynie into the mix.

I like the looks of the Frontier, but the features of the NS like the Fishbox and the big livewells.
