poonman Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 This is great, Im looking at an 94 18' MA now and am even more positive its the one for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey7848 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but it's the only one I've found that addresses what I'm after. How would the MA ride and polability compare to the Redfisher and/or Bonefisher models? I used to run an Action Craft 1720 fly fisher, that I liked, but I thought it was just OK at both rough water and polability...I'm looking for an upgrade in polability without sacrificing much compared to that AC in terms of open water capability...not sure if that exists or not, but I got my eye on a Mirage at the moment.

I know all too well because I put a lot of thought into how I could afford it. It had a brand new Yami SHO 250. What a ship! Since this thread got popped back up by someone else, I thought the 21's had a max 225 hp rating? Am I under the wrong assumption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow mouth Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I believe it's 98-2003 is rated for 225 hp 2004-2010 is rated for 250 hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Joey - the Master Angler is going to give you (arguably) the best open water ride of any flats boat, hands down. You aren't going to pole a 21 footer far, though. An 18 is more manageable. MAs are great for a little poling and a lot of fishing. If you will be poling the majority of the time, look at something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Consider the Hewes Redfisher. Surely not a tech poling skiff. And the weight and dead rise makes a nice flats boat / open water bay boat. My new RF18 rides as nice as my Pathfinder did. Just less freeboard. Matter of fact, the hull has nearly same lines / profile as the Pathfinder. Add troller and power pole, and I think it be perfect for Pamlico.
