Best all around boat?

[sears]

Ive fished big lake a few times in my hd18 express and if there is a mild chop it beats the **** outta ya. Highly recommend for marsh and river though. I've fished it 18 ft fiberglass keener too though and its almost as rough. I think length is more important then hull but I'm no expert at all. I would sell it if interested at a price u can't beat, I'm looking to upgrade as well .

Look for a custom built aluminum boat. I found mine a year ago and it was only 2 years old. Its 21x6 bay boat and its made out of 3/16th aluminum asnd will take a lot more than an express could dream of. I've never fished Big Lake but I used it offshore out of the DU and it performed flawlessly.

How much sears? Light blue with the 90 Yamaha?

Thanks for the advice guys, its going to be a tough decision. Isnt there a boat show in Lake Charles next weekend, are they usually any good and is it worth my time?

Used shearwater in American Mess for $27,9000, split it will cost ya $14,000 and run circles around any aluminum boat made!! Buy used and let that Sucka take the hit!! No deals at boat shows can match that.

I rode in a Shearwater at one of JLT's bungles. Probably the best-ridin' bay boat I've ever seen.

I have a buddy of mine in Beaumont Tx that is tryn to get rid of a 08 Nautic Star 2110 w/ a 150 Yamaha 4 stroke w/ 3 years left on warranty. He's asking $22,000 but i'm sure thats neg. If interested Call (337) 313-3133...ask for Brent.

Thats very tempting Capt B, i'm sure its a great boat, going to go aluminum though. Cant see bringing that beautiful, heavy boat into some of the nasty places I like to go. If all I did was fish the lake and near shore it would be different. I guess I need two boats

Cape bay.....nuff said.....

[mriguy]

Yes Dink, wonderful idea, ill start scratching lotto tickets tomorrow. I agree awesome boat

[fishaholic82]

Trust me man go custom. Give Casey at Sportsman's Fabrication in Morgan City a call and he can build you a boat that will last a lifetime. If you ever get down around Houma your more than welcome to come check out mine.

Salty, I also used to hit JLT's bungles and still talk to Mark who had that Shearwater and then sold it to Nick. Damn nice boat. I almost bought it when he sold it. Pm me as we must know each other
