My first fiberglass boat was a nitro bay 1900 with a 115 mercury. It drafted shallow enough for me and could handle all the near shore fishing i was doing at the time. I thought I wanted something different so I ended up getting rid of it and getting a Carolina skiff 198 dlv (current rig). The nitro was a sweet rig but I wanted something newer so I bought this skiff thinking I would like it. I was wrong. I find myself wanting a bigger console, more storage, a leaning post, and I miss the ride the nitro had outside of the jetties (especially After riding in any chop at all). I’ve kind of out grown the 19 foot boats and I’m going to upgrade to a 22 foot boat in the near future.
I’ve been looking at the sea fox viper 220, and the sea pro 218. I’m just curious what you guys have to say about 22 foot bay boats. I want something I can take the reef but ain’t too big to get up in the creek. What are some boats I need to check out?
