i think xpress is the way to go. Take a look at The h20b-ss. It has the hyperlift hull, which will give you a better ride.

22' would be my minimum length for any bay bote. Don't box yourself in by only thinking aluminum, plenty more great glass botes in your price to choose from.

19ft Frontier available for 16K, love the boat but love the idea of less maintenance with the aluminum

maybe a texas style cat or something that can go shallow but won't jar your teeth.

You were selling that boat last year right? Your last post was sold pending a compression test. Did that not go well.

I ran a fiberglass bote on a oyster reef doing 35 mph. Just a couple scratches. Buffed rite out. Don't rule out figerglass.

I had an Xpress HD 20 a few years ago with a 115. Oustanding boat for the marsh, easy to tow and great on fuel. Difficult ride with any chop at all. I fished mostly in Grand Isle with this boat and once or twice in Big Lake. If it were me I would focus on a glass boat with a reasonable draft. Unfortuantly there is no perfect boat that will work for everything. I bet you can find a good 21 or 22 foot used glass boat near that price range if you look around. As far as alum goes, Xpress does make a great boat, I never had one problem with my HD 20.

My father just informed me he wants to take his grandchildren(my kids) fishing and would love to go in half on a boat, this raises all kinds of possibilities

I really want one but I'm starting a new business venture. So we'll see my boats paid off and I could use the 60k that I'd spend on a bjack rigged how I want on growing my new business . But who knows I may just wake up n decide to buy one .....
