new boats

[Jman121799]

I just sold my bay boat so im in the market for a new one, looking for something in the 22ft range with atleast 200hp, really considering the frontier meridian 2104, also looking to keep it under 50k plus ttl. Just looking for some experienced input

I have a 2104 frontier with the suzuki 175. Awesome boat, dry ride, fast sips gas. Lots of storage. I have no complaints at All. There's a few other people that have one as well.

If you ever headed to lafayette I could show you my boat. Shoot me a pm.

It handle the big chop very well!!. And you wont get wet. They way the bow is made it slices through the chop! Have you seen on up close

Another boat I considered was the ranger bahia. That's a nice boat. But I chose frontier bc I felt it was a better fit for my family.

Man did haynie start making frontiers?

[alphaman]

For the price. 4k more your only getting 5 mph faster. My WOT with 175 is 53-54 full tank gear. My buddy just got a 2104 with the new 200 suzuki.

I have and I think the talk of the 3 footers is comical. Keep it going.

Lol clearly I don't think anyone will be running/on step in 3 footers in any bay boat I'd say.

Now taking on 3 footers while maneuvering into them is the handling I'm talking about.

I took 3 footers on lake P one day but they were spaced out good.
My boat continues to impress me in diffrent choppy conditions.

Did you get wet? Id say probably not.
The way the bow is designed is what makes the big difference btw frontier and how other boats are designed..

No. I have got very few drops of water on me.
And hell no I wasn't running wide open. In 3s but I got 35mph but like I said the were spaced out perfect.

Yes, all conditions being perfect you will get wet. It would also depend on what you consider a dry ride.
