Well, I have a BeaverTail skiff it it is awsome. I'm gunna start guiding soon and i'm looking for a newer boat. I have been thinking about another beavertail cause they are great boats. I looked at the ranger banshee extreme but i got some word that they dont ride so good. I think the boats are great. What do you guys have to say about some good flats boats.Hells Bay and gordons are amazing but pretty pricie.

Check out the beaver tail 4 sale in the 4 sale section.

if u are going to guide i would not get a banshee extreme besides that they are way over priced they have only 1 captians seat in the back while your clients are up on front on a cooler tye of seat. beavertails are defianitly nice boats but maybe check lagoon boats they are each hand made with attention to detail assuring u get a nice boat...

Lagoon boats are out business but i think they a one 15 left, anyways

where do you fish??? will you be poling most of the time or fishing deeper water

will you be running across large bays or small backcountry channels

Fly or spin

and most important want is your max amount of $$$$$ to spend

LAPPYS RULE!

JMO. but I think if I was in the market for a tps, I would seriously get ahold of Dave Sutton and check out his new Terrapin Skiff and schedule a test ride. Knowin Captain Dave , there has been alot of thought put into the design , and I am sure that Captain Karl had a little influence in that design. The two of them together , more than likely makes for a top of the line , ultimate design in a flats boat ! And the fact that they are both ..part of the family , sort of helps influence my personal opinion

I don't guide much anymore, but my clients are very impressed with my Banshee Extreme. The ride IS NICE, SHALLOW, QUIET EVINRUDE, NO HULL SLAP AND NOT AS TIPPY AS A HB OR BT. And for what you get, they are not over priced.

  I don't think Lagoon Boats went under, I was just by their shop the other day. I run the RS 15 for my Guide Service, and I love it! It is super stable, and can run super shallow. I am trying to sell mine now, I need a boat that I can fish the tourneys in (the rs is a foot to short), now that I had an offer to be pro staff for Ranger boats. The RS is a great little boat for two anglers and one person on the pole. If I could afford to keep my RS, I would! But if you ever want a test drive one, just call over to the shop and they will set you up. And I agree you do get what you pay for!
