Boat advice.

[toolpush]

I purchased the Mako 18 LTS and for my needs I really like it. The 2011 model I have is rated for 90 up which is what I have on it. The 2012 model is rated for115 which would give you better performance. The boat is easy to pole, and has a dry ride compared to the bass boat I had before. Very fishable, use it in fresh and salt water. Thinking about buying a talon for it in the near future.

Whattabouta Carolina Skiff I have seen those thing run in some skinny water, they have TONS of room, draft shallow, lightweight, and they have some now that are not just flat bottom but a bit of a V in the front. The crabbers love them and they are on them everyday in all types of weather and conditions. Looked at a 21 ft at Blacks in Lafayette while I was looking at chainsaws and its rated for 14 people Thats a lot of weight it can hold and still drafts rather shallow, and man they got some room

I was the same way. When I found the 18 LTS at the dealer in Abbeville, I had never seen that boat before and could not find any reviews from people who owned one. Took the chance and made the purchase. So far I have not been dissapointed.
