By the time you buy a nicely equipped aluminum it gets pricey. I’m looking at a seaark 21’. Tin. I tried it out and it beat me down in my back very dissatisfied with the ride
Has anybody had one of these I’m wanting to get a new boat. I looked at fiberglass and that’s what I wanted but the price of a new one is to much and a lot of the aluminum boats are getting up there. I like the lay out I know the wind is going to be rough spider rigging or livesope. Let me know y’alls opinion thanks

Bigger toys for bigger boys ! Find you a good used fiberglass like that 1999 bass Cat in the classifieds . I went backwards a couple years from a 1999 xpress 18’6” padded hull to a 1997 20’ ranger Fiberglass . I absolutely loved that xpress tin boat but the fiberglass boat fishes so much better and is so much more comfortable and it doesn’t have the roll that the tin rigs have . I have fished out of the center console boats and they are nice but for guys our size it just hard to beat the fiberglass boats on big waters ! Unless you get one of those tanks like Doug fishes out of!
I have a 19ft ranger CC Alum. and came from a 20 ft ranger CC glass boat I hated the Alum. the first year I had it but after finally get it set to suit me I can live with it. But they will not fish like a FG boat and if I were not 78yrs.old I would trade for a glass boat tomorrow. That being said My friend has a lowe 17ft and it is a good boat just not glass.
That’s what I’m worried about. I have a bad back and my old aluminum boat will bounce you to death

That’s why I was thinking about the bay style. I thought it might help standing on my back.

Sounds like I need to save a little longer and get a fiberglass. Appreciate y’alls help.

The bay type boat will not hurt your back like the bass style and much better than trying to get up out of of the bass style seats
