Default Seaborn boats

Hey guys, anyone know anything about these boats and while I'm at it, I might as well ask about sportsman boats as well. I'm pretty sure we are going to be getting a Nautic Star 224XTS, but I don't want to overlook anything. Blackjack and bluewaves are into consideration, but we really like the layout of the Nautic Star over the others. Blackjacks are of course the finest looking boats from the outside, but the front deck layout and the lack of jump seats in the back makes us look other ways.

Appreciate any and all feedback on any makes really.

Seaborn is the old Sundance boat company. That's their bay boat line. They are nice for the money.

But I think the Sportsman boats are super nice for the price. Very nice finishes.

Sportsman boats do look extremely nice, the layout sucks though. No rod holders on one side of the console, no gunnel rod holders. The only extremely impressive thing is all the access to the bilge. The fit and finish seems awesome as well.

I have not been in the Nautic Star but the Frontier has very functional space and a pretty good ride.

Your not gonna have a big front deck with a sharp dead rise hull, one example would be the 21" Champion; fantastic ride for a 21fter but the front deck sucks. (Well you can but you will need a step ladder to access front deck)

2108" Bay Stealth- Huge front deck but the ride sucks.

I think the Fronteir is a very good compromise between the two.
