I have a 2012 2400te with a yam f250. Need about 12-14 to float. 20" plus to get up with backplate up. Only had it out a few times so far in the 4 mos I've had it. Runs dry and smooth and feels very solid. No quality issues so far save for some aftermarket stereo wiring, but that has nothing to do with quality. Sorry I can't help with an 1810 but if it's built anything like mine is they seem to be well built.

Checkout Pathfinder. 12" draw. Pretty good bang for your buck.

 

A good friend of mine had a 24' version. It was junk! A lot had to do with the rigging on the electrical. Had it in the shop numerous times. Also, if you are particular about keeping your boat clean, it's not the easiest to clean, especially if you have the back fold down seats.

 

I have a 224 XTS with a Yamaha 200 four stroke. Rides great, great fuel economy, no problems with materials and workmanship at all, definitely not junk.

 

I have had a 1910 with a 115 etec for the last year and have over 100 hours on it. No problems, rides good and is pretty dry. And those back fold down seats are great !

 

We bought a 1910 with a 135 Honda a few weeks ago. So far we love the combo.
Nautic Stars are well built.

 

Buddy has the 1910 it doesn't have near the room my 214 SB has. Im in my second year and have fished crappie over brush and been to the first rigs in mine. I love it AND the seats in the back. I don't find them hard to clean at all, lift up spray with water and done

 

I bought a 2110 in 2008 and have had no trouble with the boat. It is dry. Rides great. Good fuel economy. Wish it had a little more width for stability. I have had a bay stealth and regularly help a friend clean a ranger bay boat and find it no more difficult to clean than either of those. The seats in the back work great for the family. The trick with those is keep them up while stored so they will not mildew after being washed. I recommend for the money.

 

9 plus years on a 1900 bay. It was a premier boat at the time. Yam 150 2 stroke purring like a loin.
Marine wired no isues all stainless.

Center consul is raised and a bit big but with 102 beam im ok with it. Rod lockers come in handy when Klever is not guarding .

Strong hull and i have not cracked it in half yet so it passed my test.

Holds resale value too, but im not selling.lol

 

My first boat was a 2012 Nautic Star 1810, loved it, zero problems. Great dry ride, flip up seats were awesome, 2 live wells, etc. Negatives: underpowered with a Yamaha 90, only fishes 3, not for shallow water fishing.
