    Default Boat Shopping


    I have boat fever, the Stealth 190 Seaark is by far the most impressive boat I have looked at.(only looked at them on a trailer in a showroom) Does anybody have any experience with Seaark.

    I’d be interested in folks thoughts too. I really want to take a look at their BC 210 when I trade my current rig. I’ve wanted to know how folks compare a Seaark to an Xpress which also seem like a quality ride

    Just learn what you can about hull design. A Step Pad hull like the Xpress is a much smoother ride in rough water, that’s why all fiberglass boats are built on a Step Pad hull.

    BRM, I’m definitely going to check out an Xpress with you when the time comes too. I love that X21 with a 250. I’d be interested in how a X21 or one of the 20ft crappie models handles the wind when spider rigging. Wasn’t sure if the wind pushes them around a good bit or not

    I’ve got an X20 PFC (Crappie model) in stock with a SHO 200 on it. It’s water ready for a test drive when you want to get down to the brass tacks. Name:  IMG_9267.jpg

    I have a SeaArk 240 with a 225. It will run 48 with two tournament loads and a full 80 gal live well. We catfish and crappie fish out of it and I really like it. It is big and so are both of us. Both around 270. Very stable on all types of water because of its size. The boat has a lifetime hull puncture warranty so that is nice. The only thing is even with the 15 degree hull at the end of the day it is still a John boat. I rode in a 20 food express several years ago and the ride was very good but the water wasn't rough either so I really can't comment to much about it. Had better storage than the SA. That is a down side to SeaArk, the storage.

    I'm happy with my XP 180 Xpress. It has a little more sway from the waves hitting the side than I prefer but still a good trolling rig. I tried to find a happy medium in width so I can still maneuver in tight spots. The G3 and Ranges are 92" wide and the 18 Xpress is 86"
