I looked at them all and bought a 2200 BlazerBay because it was the right deal and it fit all my needs at the time. I looked at Frontier's and think they are nice boats but I wanted a full liner boat. I would do the same again. My next boat will also be a liner boat. The fit and finish is better to me. My next boat will likely be a 24' boat.
As far as motors go I have a 150 4stroke Yamaha and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking at a 22' and under boat. My boat at WOT will run 53/54 MPH on GPS. At 3800 RPM's I'm running around 35/36 and sip fuel. I can't give you exact numbers but I can fish all day and run quite a bit and only burn 8 gallons of gas.
I don't know about you but I don't have the time to put together a boat and try to get everything right. A older used fiberglass boat has tons of things that need repair and replacement. My neighbor bought an older bay boat and all he does is work on it. I would much rather spend my time fishing. Something needs doing on my boat I take care of it immediately and don't put them off so when I get a chance to go fishing all I have to do is hook up and go. That is well worth the expense of purchasing a ready to go boat to me.
