I’m in the market for a decent used center console bay boat. I’ve always had bass boats so this will be a first. I recently moved to TX and will be on the coast a lot for work so why not. I’ll be honest I wouldn’t know a good one from a bad one. Any recommendations for what to look out for would be appreciated. Budget is probably around 40-50k tops.

Outside of any specialized wants/needs it is hard to beat a Pathfinder 22 for all around bay boat in my opinion. Depending on where you will be you may want to look into more specialized Texas built rigs such as Majek, Shallow Sport, Haynie, JH, etc...

It may be of benefit to use the search function on 2coolfishing.com which is a Texas based fishing message board. I'd also recommend searching TheHullTruth.com

How do you plan on fishing it mostly? There are a lot of used boats that will fall within your budget.

Would you prefer shallow draft capability or better ability to handle rough water?

How many people will normally be in the boat on a typical trip?

Blackjack, you can find a few that are used and still in good condition.

A Blazer Bay Ultimate 675 is as close to a Bass Boat you will get in a CC boat.
