absolutely fantastic boats - but very , very expensive.

The Ranger 23 with a 225 Honda or Yam 4 stroke is a ver sweet rig

Very heavy draw at least 13-16" loaded.Had a 22 footer that I got rid of because it didn't do worth ashit in the marsh. It's an open water dream though.

Get a Cuda!

Drafts 10" but can handle serious conditions.







Helluva lot slower than a Yellowfin, but no boat's perfect.

w/ a mercury or yamaha.


I love honda's but not their outboard motor so much. Not enough power IMO for these bigger boats but quite as shite.

my buddy has a Shearwater, this is great advice. The thing is a rocket sled, has a shallow draft and handles great in open water. His is rigged with a 225 yammy hdpi

What will you be using it for?

If you fish in the marsh primarily then I would steer you in another direction because, like others said it's a big heavy boat with 13.5" draft.

If you will be using for more open water fishing then you will have a hard time finding a better built boat.
