Down to 2

The Sea Ark 186rxv and the G3 1860

Pros: The SA has a 15 deg hull and more storage. The G3 has more deck space, higher sides and a bigger live well.

Cons: the SA is smaller, smaller casting decks and no forward fuel tank.

G3 less storage and a 6 deg hull.

Both have great warranties and are fairly close in price.

I don't plan on fishing tournaments and flying across the lake, just fishing with my girls, doing a little inshore and ICW fishing along with using it to hunt in the fall and winter.

I don't know if the hull angle is that big of a deal for what I want to use it for?

Thoughts?

The deeper the v the better the ride. The 17' & 19' War Eagle Blackhawks have 18 degree hulls.

Same motor on both? I have a hard time believing a SA and G3 are close in price. Shop around on the G3. SA are GREAT boats but Way overpriced.

I can get a G3 for around 19-20k, I got a quote on a SA for 20.6k.

A SA at 20.6 is a good price depending won which motor you are choosing.

70 Yamaha, that is the Camp coloring as well.

The difference in hull makes a world of difference when it gets rough and storage means a lot to me. I'm like ATM if you have a dealer anywhere close that WarEagle sure deserves a look. For the difference in price I'd sure go with a 90 over the 70 on either of those hull's.

Id agree

What advantages does the 90 have to everyday fishing? This will be my first boat so it is going to be a learning experience.

largest motor the boat you choose will accept is a good way to go. will be even worth more when you decide to sell it...:twocents
