Texas boats
 

What y'all think about all the boats like JH boats and ShallowSport all them Texas hands like to use. I like a lot of them because the layouts for the most part are open and they're straight up made to fish but they all seem useless for big lake but must my 2 cents. BTW these things are hideousAttachment 91286

Not bashing any brands just curious on y'all's opinions

Haynie, JH, Explorer, El Pescador, GulfCoast, and Majek are all bad *** boats. Plenty of quality texas makers out there. Lots of Haynies on BL. The others i mentioned are very similar, just a little less popular in LA. I wouldn't be concerned about where a boat was manufactured, but the company's reputation, hull design, and lay-out would be my priorities.

Those Majek Extremes are gaining popularity, and seem to hold up well

Says the Texan lol....

But for real those are some quality boats

Isn't this style of boat, like the one in the picture, called a Panga boat?

I used to work with a guy from TX and he was always talking about getting him a Panga style boat.

Nah. Pangas are different

I've fished out of haynie and majek and love em both. I really like this cat but worried it wouldn't handle BL on a rough day but who knows Attachment 91330

Also don't understand why a lot of people don't put a trolling motor on..

The boats you see without t.m.'s are dudes that strictly wade.

Hmm 50-60k boat...everyone jump in the water! Lol I like to wade a lot too but to each his own

I've done it in one of those, wouldn't catch me crossing a gap in the ICW with one! Them things are scary when it gets Rollin out there.

It's just what a lot of guys do...especially in south Texas. Different strokes i guess.

not all of em
