What’s your budget? I’m also in the market and haven’t decided yet.

Sea Ark RXT180 are nice. Definitely a step up in price though.

I’ve been looking at Prodigy’s but haven’t verified any prices.

I’ve seen online people saying they were getting some for ˜$26k

I have a 2017 grizzly 1860, with a 40 horse 2006 merc 4 stroke efi. 2017 mcclain trailer. I might sell it soon. In texas, so I am not sure of the difficulty titling in different state. If would be less than half your budget.

I have a custom 18 with a 16 yam 70hp with low hrs I may be interested in selling.

I am on the Northshore if you want to come look at it.

Prodigy has released a new line to compete more with other, less expensive brands. Less bells and whistles and less custom options.

My grizzly is a ok boat.
Paint chipped off from the factory.
The dealer repainted at their local shop which took 5 months.
I got a nice camo paint job for free.

Just takes longer for repairs versus a smaller boat company as the dealers do have to fight with White River Marine (tracker) to get things done.

Is it the best boat out there? No!
I also did not pay a lot for it brand new as it was sitting at a dealer for 2 years.

Likes versus my seaark.
A lot of foam on the side walls which makes it stable.

It an avg boat.

Lowe a better built boat.
Guess just finding a Lowe Boat dealer.

Get the Lowe's. They are made in Lebanon, MO which is close to my hometown and I've seen their facility. They make good tin boats.

I was looking at Alweld and G3.

I paid with motor under $10k and I mean closer to $8k.

Hard to beat the price

I have shifted gears. I'm taking a ride to a dealer in Hattiesburg next week. He has Xpress, Havoc and War Eagle boats on site. I liked what I saw online, so we will see.
