re: School me on some boats: nautic star vs. blue wave vs. pathfinder

For the sake of this conversation, let's leave budget out of it.

We fish all over southwest Louisiana from big lake to Sabine and all points in between. This boat won't be trailered (much) though. It will sleep in our slip by the salt water barrier and will make runs down the channel to prien lake, Big Lake, west cove and black lake. Wouldn't mind something that would handle some skinnier water too but we're not looking for flats or skiffs.

Also would like to be able to pull the kids on a tube on occasion but I don't see that being a problem for any of the three we looked at today.

I was really looking to see if one brand of the three I mentioned was better than the others. The blue wave looks to be better in the comfort column while the pathfinder looks to be a bit more fishy (for lack of a better word)). The nautic star seems to fall in the middle.
