    Default Down to 2


    The Sea Ark 186rxv and the G3 1860

    Pros: The SA has a 15 deg hull and more storage. The G3 has more deck space, higher sides and a bigger live well.

    Cons: the SA is smaller, smaller casting decks and no forward fuel tank.

    G3 less storage and a 6 deg hull.

    Both have great warranties and are fairly close in price.

    I don't plan on fishing tournaments and flying across the lake, just fishing with my girls, doing a little inshore and ICW fishing along with using it to hunt in the fall and winter.

    I don't know if the hull angle is that big of a deal for what I want to use it for?

    Thoughts?

    The deeper the v the better the ride. The 17' & 19' War Eagle Blackhawks have 18 degree hulls.

    Same motor on both? I have a hard time believing a SA and G3 are close in price. Shop around on the G3. SA are GREAT boats but Way overpriced.

    I can get a G3 for around 19-20k, I got a quote on a SA for 20.6k.

    A SA at 20.6 is a good price depending won which motor you are choosing.

    The difference in hull makes a world of difference when it gets rough and storage means a lot to me. I'm like ATM if you have a dealer anywhere close that WarEagle sure deserves a look. For the difference in price I'd sure go with a 90 over the 70 on either of those hull's.

    What advantages does the 90 have to everyday fishing? This will be my first boat so it is going to be a learning experience.

    largest motor the boat you choose will accept is a good way to go. will be even worth more when you decide to sell it...
