W, have you looked at the Frontier? Bill Kenner's K2 marine puts out the BlackJack and Frontier. The Frontier is not as expensive as the BlackJack.

W, it seems you are satisfied with the boat you have. Why not just get a bigger one?

you can order a triton without the motor and put whatever you want. w you looked at the blazer bays? get that 22 pro with the 250vmax sweet boat and not that heavy. check this one out. could save a lot of money buying second hand.

Thats kind of high priced for an 2006???? With a V Max??? That is a nice boat!!!

i can see the logic in selecting the Yamaha F150 first, then a boat to go with it. the 250's burn too much gas.

if i got the L & B i would get a merc 250XS on it, OG status

i think a 225 will push it 70, but you don't want a heavy sluggish 4 stroke on a L & B

that boat new is around 42. you could probably talk him down some the boat has been on the market for a couple of months, but it is a texan selling it so you might be in trouble. angler my buddy got a 250xs and has had it for just over a year and has changed the power head and lower unit on it already. was under warranty but when that 2 year warranty goes out hes in a bind.

the newer opti's seem to have a better rep after 2003, could it just be the operator or a lemon?

i like that blazer, good thing about the 22 foot length is the ability to stretch to the next wave better than the 20's, better offshore.

He still won't be able to run from Capt. RR.

just think W, you'll be able to make it from heberts to the weirs in 2 minutes at 70+ and beat all the bay boats there.

I would not get a boat that is 20'. If you are worried about pulling it most 20' boat come with a single axle trailer where most 22' come with tandem trailer. Trust me you will not be able to tell the difference plus the ride will be a heck of a lot better in a 22' compared to a 20" and you can fish 3 people.
