What about the tide water bay max or Carolina bay?

Pathfinder. All of the others are cheap for a reason.
Anyone have any experience with tidewaters? They look good and seemed to be laid out well.
I agree with others that were not impressed with pathfinders ride in chop.

If you get a Pathfinder, make sure you wear rubber boots
Yeah ok. I had at 1900v and a 2200v and the fit and finish on the key west bay reef under the shed now is right on par and the ride is far superior. The Avengers and Sportmans are nice boats as well, these company’s have stepped their game up the past couple of years. Local support from a manufacturer is hard to beat also.
Shaeffer, gause, canyon bay, etc are all based on the original bay boat, the flatback Aquasport. Everything else is a new style bay boat. As for the layout why do you say it is shitty? It ain’t a bass boat and it ain’t a flats boat. A bay boat is supposed to be versatile.

Just throw it all in and go with the Regulator 26.
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.

The contender and yellowfin are awesome but I don’t fish enough to spend 100k on my boat. Budget is roughly 60k. Update after I’ve done some research. Sea fox is out. I’m looking at the sportsman, the sea pro, and both the Carolina bay and bay Max by tide water. The pathfinder is still on the list to look at. Anybody got any experience with the blue wave? I also thought the tide waters were popular boats but I ain’t heard nobody speak up about them. Any manufacturers y’all would stay away from besides sea fox?
I really like my 22 shearwater.
Tidewater had a lot of gelcoat issues, not sure if they have straightened that out

You can get a nice used Pathfinder in your budget. When looking at boats, ask yourself why is there such a difference in price? Reputation, design, quality and amount of components, lay up schedule, etc, etc. Usually there is a reason why some boats are cheaper than others.
Also think about resale......I listed my pathfinder for sale on a Monday and had cash in hand on Wednesday from a guy below Jacksonville
