I was wondering if I can get a few opinions. I was going to fix up my 17' Whaler but with the amount I need to put into it to make it how I want I think it would just be worth it to buy a new boat. I looked at the Carolina Skiff Sea Chaser 186, cobia 184 and the Parker 1801 center console. I would rather pay the extra amount to have a quality boat. I heard the Cobia's are not that great of a boat. I am just looking for a boat to fly around the bay on and get into skinny water. Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
