Majek extreme opinions?
 

Give me your honest opinion on them. Looking for something to site fish reds but also be able to fish breton sound/black bay and some venice. How do they handle open water how's the ride? Not looking to go out in 5 footers but just in case the family gets caught in a pop up summer storm or if I want to make a solo run in 2-3 footers. Or should I just get a ns or triton bay and be done with it.

Get a Haynie

I believe RigRatNoMeaux runs or was running a Majek. You may want to shoot him a PM.

The 22' Boat is a rocket but not the best in open water. I talked to an owner about getting one for fishing trinity/galveston. He asked what kind of boat I had, and when I told him a triton, he said that i was nuts for even considering the majek. Said they will be you to death in rough water. Also very limited storage.

I hear the 25 foot handles great but you would expect it in a boat that size.

Your boat still for sale?

He had the 25' extreme but now he has the 22' extreme with the 250 sho.

Hey Ted, shoot rigratnomeaux a PM. I'm sure he wouldn't mind answering any questions you have about majek.

Being that this will mainly be a boat I take my 6 yr old out on as much as possible I think I'm going to go with a 22' triton. The 24 is a bit out of my price range and a used 22 will be perfect. Speed is not a big deal to me. I would rather have a stable dry safe boat to take the family on. Thank you all so much for your knowledge and if you know anyone with a good boat for sale pm me please.

I've seen them in open water......I felt horrible for those poor guys!

If you want my opinion from an owner, PM me and I will give it to you. I will not get in a pissing match on boats. I have an extensive amount of info on this boat.

Ted , i went in a 25 ft at big lake storm coming in 3 to 4 ft went through it like wasnt there. so i will buy on my next boat they are great

Sorry dude, but, no inshore boat goes through 3-4'ers "like it wasn't there". Maybe you should stop sometime and actually measure those waves.

Breton Sound would beat the nails out of a Haynie.

3-4 foot in a crew boat is rough enough, and that's a 60+ foot boat...doubt a 25 would handle better..

Haynie is half the boat that a majek is and yes about half as expensive but I can tell you you get what you pay for.. Majeks are fast smooth and durable but with that said Haynes, tritons, rangers etc... Are great boats it just depends on what you need it for. I have crushed 40 to 50 mph over a 2 foot chop with relative ease and fished in a foot of water the same day. I have also gone through 3 to 4 ft seas and stayed dry but it was far from. Comfortable. There is nothing comparable the 25 extreme on the market today but not everyone needs that type of boat

This thread is about to get good!!!

LOL, oh yea, he gonna be mad!!!!

W, did you miss this post??

Just get a 24' triton n be done with it .

Yep

Majek question
 

Does anyone know the width of console on 25 majek???

Use your head
 

You don't bring a Bass Rod to fish for Marlin, So why would you buy a Shallow water Boat, built STRICTLY for shallow water, and want to go fishing in BRETON SOUND










I
I can tell you this, not only would BRETON SOUND beat the nails out of your boat, but let a fast outgoing tide hit while your trying to come back in through the shallow passes and see the 3ft to 4ft waves it creates, and that Majek will need a LIFE JACKET


I

Here we go again

Breton sound is nothing compared to BIG lake.

Bayou Chub
 

Wasn't comparing Breton Sound to Big Lake. The original post, the man asked a question about bringing a Majek into Breton Sound.


So I used the analogy of trying to Marlin Fish with a bass rod.


But yes big lake does get very very rough. I should know, I was born and raised in Lake Charles and been fishing big lake since oh 1972.


My point with Breton Sound, is are very very Shallow paths to get to the sound, and when the tide moves out, it can move in a hurry, and causes some rough water in SHALLOW areas. The Majek would have a hard time.


Majek is a great boat, but only intended for Marshy shallow areas.

TRTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TRITON
 

HAH,


LETS GO OLD SCHOOL TO THE ORIGINAL BAY BOAT OG GANGSTA, the Terry Shaunesy specials.




BAY HAWK. Many of them still around. LOL, just a little bit of new marine plywood in the floor and on the transom. Will go another 100000 hours.

You aren't going to get a triton half the places you'll get a majek. If you want to fish the marsh at all, i would say no to triton. A majek will make it through 2-3's just fine. Ride won't be as good as a triton, but it will handle it fine. Going with a triton will eliminate some of your marsh fishing, but a majek won't limit your big water abilities.

You need a haynie. Its the best of both of those combined.

The solid truth about a majek is the faster you go the better it rides.. Simple as that
