SEA-PRO  My sea-pro has 3 large livewells, and i like the big front deck, along with the verado.

Buy a used Baycat or other center console deep-V boat. Look at saltwater bay boats if you really want a boat that designed for ropugh water.

I agree with Benbrook Guide!. The SeaPro I am selling handles rough water very well! I got stuck out in a freek storm at POC in 12' seas one morning. Never had a wave over the side! Great boat!

I agree with Benbrook Guide!. Be Careful!  You turning to the darkside  Ive had the skeeter cc, champion cc, triton cc, mako cc, Kenner cc, and i just bought this sea-pro a few months ago and wonder what took me so long to pull my head out! Not bashing anybodys boat at all but the sea-pro is set up and works better for me than all mentioned above.

Rough Water??? That's easy. Get the World Cat 33TE w/ twin 300's. Now that boat is the shiz.
