went to sarasota boat show this weeked. compared bay boats...hydra sport, sea pro, carolina skiff, action craft and scout boats. . all similiar boats, all around 23-24 ft. the one think i noticed was hydra sport is the heaviest, other 4 are comparable. structurally wise, hydra sport, scout boat and sea pro seemed better. compartment doors were sturdier. especially more than the carolina. price wise sea pro and carolina skiff were better.my initial favorites after the show are in this order, hydra sport, sea pro, scout, carolina and then action craft. price wise carolina was cheaper. option wise i really liked sea pro then hydra sport. can anyone give me any info on these boats that you know of? im going to do some test runsa on all of em. looking for bay fishing with some offshore.
