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.

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.

Xpress H20CC-SS, saw it at the boat show. Fits my needs perfectly. Getting it next week, upgraded to 80lb Minn Kota, color GPS, really like the Hyperlift hull, thank you all for the advice, going to get it slimy in 2 weeks.

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

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.
