Default Looking for some advise
Recently moved from the Lafayette area to Lake Charles. I sold my last boat 2 years ago and am currently in the market for a new one. I used to fish the shallow marshes around Leeville and Golden Meadow. I have been out on Big Lake a few times and I know it is a whole different animal.

I was wondering if anyone had any advise on a boat the would take chop good and still allow me to get into rather skinny water when I head back towards the SE. I have two boys now that are starting to get alittle older and will start making trips with me soon, so I want to find a boat that still provides a stable and dry ride when I have them with me. Any advise from people that really know this area would really help.

I have read some of these thread about Haynie, and I really liked what I read about them but I really could not find any specifications on the boats anywhere.

Also look into the frontier 210...good boat and floats pretty shallow. Made by the original kenner builders,takes the chop good.

Yeah black jacks seem to get more and more expensive every year. I think they are close to 60k now.

I am flexible with the price mid 40's really where I will end up I figure, just do't want to go crazy spending 60k on a boat.

look at skeeter or blazer bay. 20skeeter bay with 150 yamaha fourstroke runs around 32ish. good speed around 56mph and a nice dry ride. plenty of boat for big lake and can fish 3 comfortable. the 22 blazerbay is a nice boat also. you can get them with a 20'' transom and you can run the yamaha sho which is the baddest outboard on the market right now. haynies are nice also but someone said there is a 16 week wait so dont know how soon you wanted a rig.

Skeeter makes a nice bay boat. My dad has a zx22 and it hauls azz. The zx20 is nice,but not alot of space inside compared to other brands.

20 footer with a 150 is not underpowered. 22 foot needs atleast a 200.
