Hi there
New to the group so let's see how I do.

I am the proud owner of a new 225hp Suzuki 4 stroke outboard (long
story) and am now researching the choices for boat to go with it. I
live in Mobile, AL and will use the boat for river and bay boating
with the occasional fishing trip to the Gulf of Mexico, but probably
not WWOT.

I had a 1988 Grady White 20' but the transom rotted out on it (go
figure) I was happy with that boat but it was very rough riding in
anything more than a light chop.

I am looking at a Sailfish 218. Nice looking boat with lots of
pluses. Anyone have any experience with this boat or recommendations
on other choices.

Thx!


I love my Proline 21'er. I think they're a little cheaper than the Grady's.

It depends on the chop. I'm sure it's not as comfortable as a Grady, 'cause its
on as heavy. If the bay is 2-3 feet, I'll not be planing against the wind,
although with the wind may be OK.
