I have had a kenner, pro master, and a nitro.................IVE GOT 2 WORDS FOR YOU........ SEA-PRO this is by far the best family fiendly and fisherman friendly center console that i have had. Not knocking the previous brands, great boats. The SEA-PRO is heavier built boat will take rough water better and with mercury verado its just awesome. I have a 21ft and fish 6/7 very comfortable. Plenty of storage.

I know a photographer with an old 23 VX, 250 Opti, trim tabs with Machetes on them. I kept it for a few days and ran it up and down the Red River. I loved it.

I think it's time he sold it to me for a song...he needs a new one.

Stretch,

I switched to my first CC three years ago and have never looked back. I have a 19' Frontier with a Yamaha F115, check them out and you will be surprised who makes them (K-2 Marine). The CC has room to move around and I am not constantly having to sit near the floor and stand up. At 60 that is good news for my knees. I am not a big bass fisherman, but do a lot of crappie, catfish, and sand bass, either day or night. If its too rough for this boat then its too windy for me to enjoy fishing anyway. The boat has lots of storage which is handy when I take the grand kids tubing. Its just an all around good boat that fills my needs.

Good luck on your search. By the way there are some good values out there. I bought this boat at 8 months old with an aluminum trailer for 14K.
