Not sure if serious. Aren’t Sea Fox and Sea Chaser literally the bottom of the cc barrel? I know they used to be.

Saltwater boat can be a lot of things from offshore to bay to flats boats. What you talking about specifically?

Sea fox and sea chaser are not high quality boats.

There's a fantastic one for sale in BR right now. Wish I didn't already have one. The one listed is damn fine and rigged perfectly

Loved my Frontier 2104. Priced right and a hell of a boat. Almost shed a tear when I sold it to move to Nashville. It was my 4th boat in 5 years and I finally felt like I was in the right boat for me.

For what its worth, I fished mostly Hopedale, Delacroix, and grand isle

I have been lightly shopping planning on my next one in the 22-24 ft range.

So far narrowed list to Sportsman, Sea Hunt, Robalo, Key West, Ranger, and Sea Pro.

Really like how the console opens forward on the Robalos and Rangers. Big console hatch with lots of access is a must on my next one. Recently removed Tidewater after find a bunch of negative stuff on them. Too bad because they are pretty boats with a nice layout.

Well, I put my money on an Avid 23fs bay boat. It is an aluminum bay boat, runs 50mph with a Yamaha 150 GPS speed, 2 adults, full tank of gas,2 Raptors (Minn Kota knock of of power pole) 4 lead acid batteries (switching to lithium, they are on back order) all safety gear, no fishing gear.

Thing feels like a glass boat on the water except for the acceleration you get from a 150hp motor (CARB tested the motor and rated it at 160hp) If glass wasn't almost twice the price for a similar sized boat I might have gone glass.

Ive been on a ton of bayboats in the mobile area. Contender, blazer bay, tide water, aquasport, scout, cape horn, sportsman, pathfinder, sailfish, etc.

For whatever reason and it is just personal preference but I seem to like Pathfinder the best.
