Yes that is a massive cat on the flats.....thats a tiny cat way offshore.....for me anyway. Like I said on ice cream days rock on I would too. But the larger cats mentioned are designed better for offshore in this case.

 

i just got my first stingray and it by far the best bought i have every been on... it goes plenty shallow for how i like to fish and it has great speed and just an all around great ride. I'm on the waiting list to get a recon but may just stick with the stigray because of the speed. i did not think i cared about speed but once i started going fast i just wanted to go faster...lol

 

Bam! SCB thread

 

SORRY!! !!

 

Tran!!!

It's not even close. Anyone that knows anything about TX saltwater will tell you Tran is head and shoulders over SW.

I have lots of experience with both. Lets just say that 1 company always has satisfied owners and 1 company always has owners that are wondering who really owns their company at this point in time as they dial to make their latest warranty / service / complaint call.

As far as faster/ shallower? I can't claim to know as I don't run around conducting races and burnout contests on the flats, but the difference is incremental at best, if at all. I know lots of folks with SW boats that have had issues, none with Tran. None.

you are right
even if you did have a problem with tran boats they were on top of it
i bought a brand new 19 cat sw and was prop wrong i called tran and he was willing to wait for me on satrday to go with me and try 4 or 5 props in the water and see which one i like and make sure boat rue right . from owner of company offer that for other boat not like he was making a home run on the prop lol
that was very kind of him to do that.
reason i called him cuz i never got answer from my dealer or shoal water on the prop lol

 

and if sw is faster it is buy 5mph top really not much
both are nice great boats
customer service should be on top of the list no matter how busy you are
