I'm 98% on that and 2% on a Shoalwater 23 Cat.
My dads got a 2206 majek m2 with a 200 evinrude g2, I’m looking for a smaller size boat for 1-2 people that easy to tow with a Jeep. Something that can get skinny after reds and put me on ducks as well. I’ve been looking at prodigy boats and then I saw this and now I’m tryna see what would be better. How does your boat ride in a small to medium chop?

Oh yeah, 1-4 people this size is great. My problem is I always have 4-5 people and LOTS of camping gear, 120 lbs of ice, random supplies for fish camp, etc. Boat is a great ride even in huge chop, as long as you have power and know how to run it. I got rid of the Suzuki because it had a computer issue that decided to limit my RPM crossing the bay in a big storm, legit 3-4 footers quartering from the rear and rain at about 1am. Took 3 to 4 large waves over the back before I found a groove riding the waves at barely more than idle speed, thought for sure I was going down. With power and a little boat knowledge there's almost nothing I won't go out in if I really want to. As for the small to medium chop it rides really well due to the extra weight of the deck and safefloor, rather than pound on top of the waves it pushes a lot of water out of the way and plows through enough to smooth it out. If you're ever out in the POC area let me know and we'll go for a ride. They're made in Friendswood: http://boatrightmarine.com/

Zero chance I'll ever own another one in my lifetime. It cost me a lot of extra money to rip that Suzuki off and put the Etec on and I don't regret it for a second. Zuke ran fine until it almost drown me crossing a rough bay in the middle of the night when the computer went out. Handling West Matagorda Bay swells coming over the back and sides of the boat with barely more than idle power was some serious pucker factor, but getting screwed out of my warranty claim is what turned me off. I had 3 years of extended warranty left and ended up paying $2k out of pocket after they told me to eff off. If anybody wants more details PM me, don't wanna hijack the duck boat thread.
