Friend of mine has one and has had nothing but problems with it. Gel coat "yellowing", screws backing out, crimp in fuel line twice. It's a rough ride. I have a 20' Nautic Star that rides much better than his 22'.
Bah! Humbug!
It’s a small notch better than Sea Fox, and we all know that ain’t saying much.
I'm on my second one. I looked at Scout, Sportsman, Tidewater, and a few others. I wanted the Scout but couldn't justify the cost difference in my head.
First one was a 2400 Bay Max pretty loaded with a 300 Yamaha and t-top on it. The boat would flat out move and was a pretty dry ride. I didn't like some of the fit and finish on it. The hatches needed to be sealed for example.
I traded down for a 1910 Bay Max without a t-top and with a 150 SHO Yamaha. I like the 19 better, for my needs anyway. It has trim tabs which helps with a boat this size. Better for fishing the areas I fish, casting deck, etc.
Would I get another one? Yes, but I'd get a Carolina Bay. The Carolina flare would be a bit better ride than what I have.
All that money for a boat just to drink cheap beer on...

Go to THT and read the horror stories on TW quality and customer service.
Buy my Pioneer, it’s a much better boat and is already set up for what you want to do.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Customer service has been no issue for me. My boat didn't come with trim tabs and it didn't ride like I thought it should. Small boat that rolls when loaded with people and they move around the deck when underway. The dealer put them in and Tidewater paid. Could be due to the dealer I worked with but no issues from my end.
not to derail, but we've got a 08 Key west 2020 with a Yamaha 150 4s with 284 fresh water hours if you're interested tandem axle aluminum trailer, freshwater use only. haven't posted it for sale but are entertaining the idea.

I would agree and strongly suggest you review THT. I also think there is a thread on Charleston fishing.
Some very unhappy and vocal owners out there.
what landing you need me to meet you at to help get rid of some of those fish?
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
I'd like to have Salty's Pioneer unfortunately it's just about $40k out of my price point right now! As to TW, I'd keep looking based on reviews and comparisons that I've actually experienced.
