Flats boats to consider?

This has also been posted in the boating section but I'm not sure how much it will be seen so I'm posting here as well. Mods, feel free to delete if I'm out of line. I'm beginning to beat the bushes for a used flats boat, not in any hurry. Of course I'm considering the well knowns like Hewes and Maverick but was wondering what others I should consider. Thoughts?

UFgator is selling his pathfinder still I think. Nice boat, I've been on it and it can go deep on calm days. Best of both worlds.

Skeeter! All the way!

Wouldn't trade my panga design for any other flats boat...almost every trip out past five years fished midshore (10 to 20 miles out) in mornings and redfish spots in less than 2' in the afternoons. 22' boat and it only takes a gas-sipping 90hp to push it 35mph.

As far as "flats boats" I admit I am partial to my Hewes, but you cannot go wrong with Skeeter or Action Craft. Both are great "flats boats".
