That Sea born looks like an incredible boat.

Like said above, look at

Tideline
Crevalle
Dorado
Sheaffer
Marauder
Barker bay-may be out of your price range though
tidewater
sterling
shearwater is a great boat

Yes, the tideline is a cat, they're pretty sweet boats.

I would also look at the shallow sport x3

Yup, an awesome platform for inshore and light offshore fishing.

You can pick your days to go on serious offshore trips and it still acts like a fantastic bay boat. It'll be a better ride than any mono bay boat out there.

Drafts more than a panga model but more comfortable.

Yes. It is a more of a true hybrid bay/offshore boat than similarly sized monohulls. I think they can be had for around $75-100k depending on outfitting.

That is a pretty good list. I would think that the Sea Born could be had for less than most on that list.

Take a look at the Nautic Star with a 250 yammy. A friend has one and I have fished many times in it. Very nice boat and fast.

And you could probably rig it with radar, big gps/depth finder, and twin power poles for the price of a baseline contender,yellowfin,seavee,or barker

I would second the Crevalle. We are in the market for a bigger bay boat and liked the Blackjack, Pathfinder, and Crevalle the best so far. We have the small Blackjack now.

Gravois family members who make aluminum bay boats, one in Jeanerette/Franklin “Metal Shark”


This is the answer, THE Gravois. Spend $100,000 once, forever. Wouldn't worry about the other one.

My neighbor has an American Aluminum and it's nicer than any of the metal sharks I've seen around

Probably...almost certainly when it comes to Yellowfin and Barker.
