Owner Boat Reviews: Fishing Boats |
Boat Review: Viking 48` Convertible - 1987

Overall these are still great boats and offer a lot for the money.
Used ones range between $245 to $350 depending on year, condition, and upgrades. I used to run one for ten years and would say that I can speak intelligently on their construction, performance, and what to expect as far as pre-purchase is concerned. If anyone has a specific question then feel free to e-mail me and perhaps I can help you.

Boat Review: Seafox Center Console 21`
I was looking for a 21' CC fishing boat and was stuck in the $35-$45,000 area and to be honest, for a short season in New England that's too much money. For $25,000, I got boat, motor and trailer and so far I have had no major issues.

Boat Review: Carolina Skiff 1965 19` - 2000
I use this boat for fishing the Texas bays and flats. Perfect boat for the skinny water. I will also go in the Gulf of Mexico on calm days to fish for kings and dolphin.

Carolina Skiff 16DLX, 15` 10" 2004
Handles exceeding well with the running strakes and redesigned hull. A hook has been placed in the bottom near the transom, however, while dtill new, has some irritating porpoising at high speed which I should be able to adjust out of it.

Boat Review: Scout 202 Center-Console, 20` - 2000
Center console fishing boat that doubles as a family boat for riding, wakeboarding and skiing. Scout is made of 100% wood-free construction, and has a deep-vee hull. This soft ride performs graciously with it's dependable outboard power. The Scout is fast, fun, and fuel-efficient.
This is great for the BAY to fish or just run-a-bout.

Boat Review: Carolina Skiff J-16 - 15` 9" - 2003

Skiff type boat modified into a small waters, bass boat with the addition of a front deck, foot controlled electric motor, seats, depth finder, etc. Handles as well as could be expected for a 16', tiller control outboard. Responds well to the helm. With a flat bow, it does ride rough in anything more than a chop. It is not a "big water" boat, but it was never designed to be.

Boat Review: Carolina Skiff - Seachaser 2200 DFS - 2004
This is a deck fishing boat. Handles and rides very well in calm waters, perfect for lakes and rivers. We do however take it off shore to the barrier islands, and it does ok in seas up to 1 to 2 feet.
