at least your not buying a blue wave


You can't compare a boat that takes 24" to get up in to boat that 8"

Nothing is rougher then ma jek redfish line



no, you can't its apples and oranges.


worst ride I ever was in was in a 18" shallow sport classic with a 120 on it when we put in at bird island and drove to the land cut.....that was the worst 60 min of my entire life. I kept wishing the boat would sink so I wouldn't have to endure the ride any longer.

same boat, we were fishing in the Lydia ann channel over by shamrock island and got caught in a northern that blew in, 30 mph winds and we put in next to the ferry.....took us about 45-50 min to get back north in what would have been a 12 min trip. that time I did not know if we were going to make it back, it was terrible.


only time I've ever been in majeks it has been glass slick to slightly over a ripple so I cannot tell you how rough they are or aren't.

I like the Haney Bigfoots, the Pathfinders and the shearwaters.


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I,ve been bowhunting since 1985. Believe me and all the previous comments. Go to a bow shop and try out the new models that are out there. Todays bows are very good. Just shoot several and find the bow that feels comfortable to you; one that is light to hold; feels smooth when you draw back; has a good let off; and releases an arrow smoothly. Don't worry about the brand. It doesn't have to be FAST! Todays bows that are FAST are also LOUD. An arrow going 300 fps is plenty fast, even at 40 - 50 yards, to go through a deer.

Thank you very much guys for all of the great info. I have been looking at bows on the Internet and reviews. I'll take the advice to let the bow find me. Going to look in my price range and start shooting until one speaks to me. I guess same with rifles. I prefer Weatherby and my favorite go to gun is a 308. Have owned a Weatherby 300 magnum, Remington 7mm magnum and so on but my go to gun is my Weatherby 308. Not much of a kick, drops deer with one shot and accurate as all get out. Have a really nice Zeis scope on it and my confidence is high hunting it. Just need to find a bow I feel the same about because I am sure I will keep it for years to come.

To be 100% transparent. You can't find a bad bow mfg anymore. Really comes down to the feel and pull style your looking for

Il shoot a bear bow till I can't draw a bow anymore. It spoke to me at the bow shop easy dicision. And it didn't break the bank. Very quite and accurate. Light wieght Small and compact was what I was looking for. And a solid back wall to hold a draw on.

All make great bows.. I have a Diamond Black Ice and love it and will never get a new one until this one snaps. but wouldn't buy their new bows.. bowtechs either... just went the wrong direction with their new stuff imo.. iv shot just about all of the new ones.. Hoyt and Matthews shot great but im not about to carry them around all day.. PSE or Bear would get my pick. Elite is never a bad choice either

i agree with the above. let the bow choose you. bowtechs chose me and now i have 3 of them. though i will look into elite next year when its time to upgrade. too many friends shoot them that shot bowtechs and they are trying to pull me into the darker side...

Matthews. That is all.

Sorry to get off the boat topic; but as far as the best bow on the market is the bow you hold in your hand..... Some guys can't afford to buy the latest and greatest. Get what you can afford and what you shoot well and you'll have the best bow in the world..
