Lee, I run a Nautic Star 2110 bay boat and absolutely Love it. They are well built and give you a dry ride. I fish speckled trout and red fish in Louisiana several times a year and have been in some big waves and never had a problem. In lakes like Weiss it fishes like a bass boat. Great boat to guide out of. I did a lot of looking and research when I boat mine. I looked a Ranger, Skeeters and tritons. For the price I don't think you will beat it. They are all fiberglass boats have have same waranty as a Ranger for way less money. If I boat another boat today it would be a Nautic Star. I might go up to a 24 because of my addiction to salt water fishing but I would still go with Nautic Star. Several Dealers in Ala. I know there is one in Gadsden, Wedowee, Gulf Shores and Mobile.
