Striper and Bay Boat Choices????

[Texas Striper Fisherman]

I am looking for a center console bay boat mostly for deep water
striper fishing in Texas. It might be used in the bay a couple of
times a year. I am looking in the 20-24 ft range. I have been
impressed by the Polar 2310, Skeeter ZX2400, Pathfinder 2400V, Boston
Whaler Dauntless 22, and a variety of others . Kenner, Carolina Skiff,
Sea Hunt

The Polar really impressed me by its design, but I have heard bad
things about their quality.

Do you guys who know these types of boats have any thoughts? Any
advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Out of the ones you listed I could definitely recommend the Boston
Whaler, Pathfinder, and Sea Hunt. The Polar is also a good boat but
not comparable to the three I just mentioned. Also, you may want to
check into a Sea Pro. The other follow up post mentioned a Ranger.
Ranger is just about as good as you can get but extremely pricey. If
you are willing to spend the money on a Ranger you probably wouldn't
be mentioning the Carolina Skiff or Polar. Good luck. Just remember to
look at the little things i.e. the Boston Whaler won't sink, the
Pathfinder comes loaded with options, etc. Also, if you can get a
Yamaha as the outboard that would be a plus. I have a Mercury and know
many who do and all of us would trade in for a Yamaha in a heartbeat
if we could. Also, Honda makes a great 4-stroke.
