Get the big console, with a big T top. It's nice to be able to get some shade between wades, even moreso off shore.

Originally posted by breederbuck33 View PostA friend of mine recently acquired a bunch of money, and is looking into buying a new bay boat. He is looking for a 24'-25' bay boat good for everything from shallow running, to fishing the rough water at the jetties. He will probably take it off shore a little ways if the weather is right as well. What say you green screen, what is the absolute best bay boat on the market if you don't really have a budget? This is very foreign to me, but he is asking me to help him make sure he has a boat he'll feel ok about dropping so much money on. Here are the important features. Handles rough water well, dry, plenty deck space, and all around well built (doesn't want to worry about having a bunch of petty stuff break).
My vote would be Shallow Sport X3 as well.

32 foot X3 is the way to go. 16 inch static, 12 inch running draft. Add a sea-keeper to that boat and it is the perfect blend of inshore and offshore. The X3 is on my mental list of Lotto boats, along with the Grady White Canyon 456 for offshore!
Some of the boats in this thread are just not worthy of the 'unlimited budget' outlined in the OP!!!

Another recommendation would be an El Pescador classic or Cat. We fish a 24ft Classic in 12'' to open water. They handle waves like no other and have plenty space to fish comfortably. The Dargel isn't a bad choice either.
