Searching for that perfect boat. LOL!!!

[Captain Mike P.]

Hey Guys!!!
I currently own a 175 HP Suzuki 4 stroke (2007.) I have recently decided it's time to upgrade from my 1996 Cajun Fishmaster 1850 boat to something new with the same engine. I mostly saltwater fish in South Louisiana with the occasional trip to Toledo Bend. AAHH!!! the choices. I've been looking at all the options such as Nautic Star, Tidewater, Sea hunt, Pathfinder, Frontier, Haynie, ect.. The big names such as Skeeter, Triton, Blazor Bay, Blackjack seem to requir a little more power. I know I want nothing less than a 22 footer. Although, I'm not a speed demon, I would like to run atleast 45 MPH. The perfect hull for me would be something I can get into the Shallows (and out), but would also knock down some strong 2 ft/ 3 ft chop. Right now I'm seem to be leaning toward the 22ft express, but now wild about Aluminum. Any one running a 22' bay with a 150 or 200? Any suggestions?
