That's my buddy's boat. He was an elite triple jumper.

What's your problem with Nautic Star?


When we were looking I wasn't impressed with the fit and finish of the nautic stars we looked at (new). They were nice to look at, don't get me wrong, but they just didn't seem that high quality. Also I'm not a huge fan of how pointed (I'm sure there an actual term) the front deck is. Much less room to fish than the front deck of the frontier we went with.

Drive to Miami and buy a boat in your price range.

While fishing sunday I was looking at a 22' nautic star and noticed how cramped it looked and how narrow the front deck looked compared to my frontier. Not sure what model he had though

They look like a nice boat for the $$. I like the 24' hulls but not the smaller ones. Never had the chance to ride in one.

The deck on the nauticstar also may appear a little smaller bc there is a step where the fish box is. I like the step there but can see how it takes a few feet away fro deck soac for some.

The nauticstar 22' xts and the 21' are different boats. Wider beam and I think stepped hulls too.
I don't find the fit and finish on my nautic star to be too bad but my other boat is a gator tail so I dont have any comparison.

932 sounds like a lotta hours to me.

Nautics Stars are worth a look imo.

But I'd have to check out that boat lazcrrek metioned by about tomorrow morning.

21' SeaPro With 200 Zuk For $16500, This is a no brainer. Spend the extra money upgrading electronics and PP and you have a super nice ride for under $20,000

I think he's a little high on his price. Thats a nice boat and I wouldn't be afraid of the hours, we have a workboat with a 4-stroke Yamaha 250 with over 5,000 hours on it.

Give me a few months and I'll sell you my 22' Gravois in your price range. Waiting on dad & brother to finish their new bay boats, then want to sell mine to build a new 32'.
