Bonecracker Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Want to hear you thoughts on the older 1998-2008 16ft Bonefisher/Bayfisher/Redfisher for hull slap?? My 2006 2200V pathfinder is so noisy and I need a change chasing tarpon and redfish! Lapestrake?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatwater Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 It's not horrible but it's not going to be near as quiet as something with a rolled chine like and egret, HB, or eastcape.. But you also have to fork over some more $$$ for some of those so it becomes a trade off of sorts.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flireman Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 With all due respect the hulls you mentioned (Bonefisher/Bayfisher/Redfisher) are all the Hewes brand. Maybe you should post your question in that section and not the Maverick section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 All those boats including the egret are going to be as noisy as your boat... the maverick mirage line up or the HB or Ecc are what you need to look at. .. you need a boat specifically designed not to slap and I personally think no slap hulls are an essential when fishing shallow...

jason p Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Since is you posted on the "Maverick" side I'll tell you Wayne is 100% correct. There's a few HPX 17/18s that pop up for sale at good prices. ...and to show you how much I care I'll give you $5000 for the Waterman right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
