Hey folks. I have been shopping around and am contemplating getting into a new boat.
My eyes were originally on a Dorado/Sheaffer/Avenger style bay boat.
I was told to look at the privateer/parkers.
So I am contemplating the 2500, but really wonder how shallow they draft, and how trailerable they are. Is a single 225/250 really adequate for power?
I primarily fish Tampa Bay, and the Gulf. Some tarpon on the beach, some redfish, snook etc. Lots in the bay, grouper kings, and the ocassional offshore.
My attraction is in the beam of the 25.
Can anyone tell me if I am crazy for thinking this would be a good all around Tampa Bay boat?
