    Default Tier 1 vs Tier 2 boats.

    I am considering upgrading to a couple feet more in a center console. Looking around 30 to 32 ft.

    A couple of feet is significantly more but moving to a Tier 1 is even worse. Is it worth it?

    EDIT - I didn't realize this was a ten page thread and I didn't read it.

    Tier 1 in order: 1) SeaVee, 2) Contender, 3) Yellowfin. Regulator and Everglades are Tier 2, Grady and the Pursuit are Tier 3.

    Depends on two things. 1. Do you fish often and hard? 2. How deep your pockets are
    Note: Number one can be ignored when number two is large enough.

    Also- are you planning to buy new?

    I would pay more for a used Regulato/Yellowfin/Contender/Everglades than a brand new Sea Hunt etc.

    add Southport to the list....and I don't own any of these nor do any immediate family members at the moment but I reserve the right to say do it just so I can watch someone else spend a lot of money instead of me.

    What brand boat are you using now? Have you ever barked the props or broke your boat in use?

    they can catch em!
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    The last two were Sportsmen. 28 ft now. I love speed but avoid barking.

    New for sure. I hate fixing stuff.

    Kind of hard to see over the bow in the lake in a yellow.
