Would like to get opinions on which is better the transport 240svt cat or the shoalwater s23 cat. Would be doing lots of wade fishing in matagorda and crossing the rough lower Laguna madre in port mansfield I would also like to run offshore to troll for some kings and dorado and even go deep drop out of it ... Would just like some opinions or any feedback would be greatly appreciated !!! Thanks!!!

No wrong choice there for your inshore fishing activities.
Both are awful choices for your offshore excursions you describe. Yes you can do it but there are many better (safer) choices.
If you insist on taking a cat bay boat offshore the shoalwater would be last choice as it is lighter and you will get tossed.
If you are going offshore a lot dont sacrifice your safety for that shallow bay capability.

If i was booking an offshore trip....and asked the guide what kind of boat.....it would be a short conversation with your guide friend. I would be looking elsewhere for a guide with an offshore boat for my guided offshore trip. It is a bad idea to plan to do that regularly. On the rare occassional ice cream day man rock on I would too. But not a good plan not smart to count on that for your offshore excursions almost every week as you describe.
It just seems to me with such a focus on offshore there are at least two manufacturers that make massive cats designed for shallow bay/offshore that would be much more confident in those conditions. Shallow Sports giant cat and Dargels giant cat seem to fit that bill so much better.
