Their solid feel dry ride and spacious cockpit will give any captain the confidence needed to take this offshore machine into the battle-tested Northeast waters.

Sportsman boats vs tidewater. Also before the live well broke I only had the option to run both live wells sanctimoniously about 2 weeks after having the boat. The TideWater weighs 500lbs more than the Sportsman 500lbs of Fiberglass could make a heck of a difference over time. I would substitute less deadrise for more flexibility anyday on a 25ft boat.

Probably a fuse. Thinking of buying a tidewater bay boati love the lay out but are unsure about the qualityany feed back good or bad would be greatly appreciated. The price difference between the TW and the other boats under consideration Edgewater Whaler Grady Parker is really substantial like 30-40 less than the others under consideration.

Tidewater boats have an impressive look with clean lines and a Carolina flare in the bow and an even more impressive price range. Now back to these two boats. Also something to keep in mind Sea Pro will be back in business come May with bay boats and center consoles.

The reviews offer every fishing boat models specifications plus a breakdown of the layout and detailed descriptions of the usability fishability and the comforts and conveniences complete with images of the boat inside and out. Theres even a space for an optional port-potti. The front deck layouts are different.

It is loaded with comfortable full upholstery and stainless steel cup holders. The 220 LXF makes a great near shore and offshore fishing boat. Originally founded in 1987 Sea Pro Boats was purchased by Brunswick Corporation in 2005.

Its a function of design and aesthetics. Huge design flaw on more boats than just sportsman. Bilge pump hose crack.
