I guess I'm a little slanted in my opinion, but when I was shopping for a new boat I didn't consider anything othar than a bay boat. I've been a bass fisherman for 30 years. Our boats have been built that way for years. I'm not surprised that bay boats are the most popular boats on market.
What was I supposed to do today?

Chalk, some guy in PC has a 21 Maverick with a tower on it. I just wish they would make the console tall enough to drive it standing up. I'd be writing a check then. :-D

I bought the same boat in the picture, 2200V, but blue, and with no casting platform. So far I would highly recomend it. Been close to the K tower in 3 to 4's (was slick when I left the hill or would not have gone that far), and have fished in a foot of water as well.
Seems like an all purpose boat. It is a 2001 with a 200 VMAX. Plenty of power, as well as economical. Got a fairly good deal. As I said before, I would highly recomend it. :D

Sorry for making you turn blue and scratch your head, Chalk.

The thing I dislike about flats boats is that the console is made for short people. I have to bend over too far to reach the wheel if I am standing up.

The part about actually buying a 50k-55k Maverick was a joke.

Chalk, if you buy us a nice tower boat, I will teach you everything I know about Cobia fishing in Panama City. You really need a new avatar picture. ;-)
