Big subject short: TX waters, ie lakes. Desire comfort, storage, good price point. Fiberglass?

Hull shape?

Back in LA Jon Boat all day.

Ease of use a huge component with health concerns/easy trailering.

Any out there that will allow me to hit the lakes hard and bring home to the flats?

Carolina Skiff/Boston Whaler/ or under 15k fun builds

Thanks

I just bought a Tahoe. Love it. But you ain’t getting one for 15k.

I got a 26' Cuddy cabin cruiser I can give you a hell of a deal on.

Neither boat on your list will be comfortable, would look for a 20’ blue wave, Kenner, frontier,. Guess you could even go down a couple feet and get your required results. Bay boats are so much more comfortable to move around in and navigate with than boats where you are sitting on the floor.
Should be plenty of options.

18-22ft bay boat. There will plenty out there to pick from.

Maybe Kenner or Blue Wave? Pathfinder 18? I bought my boat for around that price and wish I would have spent 10-15k more upfront. Perhaps a personal dilemma.

Pathfinder 18?


I owned a the 1810V pathfinder and it was a really good boat. fished the islands for trout with no issue. from what I heard it floated in 10-12" inches. i picked one up for 10k and sold it 2 years later for 12K

Also, a skeeter bay boat can be found for a little cheaper

20ft skeeter

Aluminum Bay boat or Aluminum bass boat is the most versatile rig for that to me. But really depends on what you like.

was thinking of this just for the ease....
How's the trailering and where do you fish mainly?
Would be pulled behind newer Tahoe SUV
