Anyone owned or fished from one? Pros? Cons?

Yes and it is a fine vessel. If you told me to go buy a new bay boat today NS would more than likely be my choice.

Thanks. Have one priced out and just need to take a test ride before I pull the trigger.

I'd defiantly go with the 22 xts, nice boats. I wasn't impressed with the 21 xts but the 22 has more room, wider beam length and more hp rating. Saw one with the 225 sho. I have the 200 sho and they are great motors. They were defiantly on my list of boats before I bought one.

Too bad we couldn't catch shite out of it....

after checking out the boat show this weekend, pops was undecided between blackjack and bluewave...
then we went see the key west, sportsman and nautic stars..
needless to say now sportsman and nautic are at the top of the list now, being a hell of a lot cheaper than the first two.

I was at the boat show as well. I think, for the price, you can't beat the nautic star except maybe a blazer bay.

the blazer bay they had there didn't impress me at all. it was empty and the console was smaller than the one on my aluminum boat, plus walking around you could feel the floor warped where the stringers are. it just felt cheap.
the sportsman was a good deal and the key west, but the nautic star was decked out for a good bit cheaper than the rest

I know you do, I was going to get one until I fished in it. I didn't care for the layout. they are very nice boats though. its all on what you like.

The new sea pros look legit. May want to check them out of there is a dealer near you. They had a few at the mobile boat show this weekend.

We went with the 19ft NS a few years back to be able to get up in the marsh in SELA.
It has been a fantastic boat. Rides well, tons of storage, all finishes have held up great, no issues at all.

My dad has a 2400TE. We've had some minor problems with some electronics but it has been a solid boat. New stepped hulls are nice though.

Ours is a 2014, took delivery in Dec 2013
Flipped hull color with gray bottom and white top, Yamaha F250XA (non-digital). 80 lb 24v Minn Kota, Power Pole (just one, I know, amateur hour).
Upgraded from the Nautic Star 2110 w/ Yamaha F150. That was a great boat but this has been a considerable upgrade in overall performance, capability, etc. Good bit wider and heavier so ride is much improved and far more room inside the boat.
It's been great for all we do, mostly in Lake P and now the Shell Beach/Hopedale area, stays mostly at the camp down there these days. Gets fairly shallow (for its size) for reds in the ponds and does well in a chop, trim tabs are must-have!
With a light load it tops out at around 58 though we rarely run faster than low 40's. Shoot me an email if you have specific questions.

Thanks tigah d, only question now is how much of a pain and how the hell do I register the thing since I'm buying it in Florida?
