Post subject:  New Boat Buyer

Alright I have been researching for over a month now and I think I opened my options to more than where I started and don't know what to do.

I'm from Michigan where I hunt lots of lakes, big and somewhat fast rivers, marshes and swamps, and large shallow bays.

I have been using a tiller, then went to jet, and neither are doing what I want. I sold my boat and I'm starting fresh. I have decided pd/gt for motor but I don't know where to start for boat. Finding a good dealer seems to be the first challenge.

I know I want either 1754 or 1860, could go either way depending on the deal I can get on either. But because I hunt lots of large shallow bays which can get a pretty good chop I was considering a mod-v. But I know I'll have some issues getting on plane. I like gatortail so far if i decided to go against mov-v but I have a seaark dealer not too far away.

Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Essentially I just need a boat that will hunt 3 guys, a dog, gear, and run in 12" or less water.

I know gatortrax has a mv option that will do great in chop but also get you really shallow.

I have been looking at SeaArk 1860 duckhawk with jet motor hull.

The hybrid front helps in chop yes, my Prodigy does great on the Tennessee River during pretty rough conditions.

If you want to look at a Prodigy I can meet you somewhere and you can look over my rig and we can go for a run. I'm from Michigan as well. West side. Are you from the East?
