Sold my Stryker now Im looking for a center console “ Bay Boat” or hybrid in the 21-24’ range.
The boat will be used primarily for inland fishing, bay fishing and carp shooting so I need a fairly shallow drafting hull.
I want a hull that can take a 3’ chop well. I’m interested in comments of the ride difference between a 21’er and a 24’er- some say its a HUGE difference in rough water. My buddy has the Blue Wave 2200 pure bay and its nice but doesnt perform as well as i would like in rough conditions. Asking a lot of one boat, i know.
Some boats that seem to qualify:
Pathfinder2200trs, 2350lbs, built well, cobia same
Blue wave 2200 pure bay (lrs)
Sportsman masters 227 (lrs)
Blazer boats
Ranger
Sheafer24 ( combo)
Dorado 23( combo)
skeeter 2250 bay
Nautic star-
Velocity 220
Sea pro (lrs)
Shearwater- good
Epic 22sc
HYBRID BAY BOATS
Pioneer bay sport 220
These boats are like hens teeth in the SFBay areas- but very pupular in the Gulf states so difficult to test run all comments welcome. What have you fished off of?
