Has anyone purchased one? I am looking at one and I love the Carolina flare. What's the negatives and what's the positives. I've talked to a dealer but of course they won't tell you anything bad about the boats just wondering if anyone has any input

I think they look sick and can tell you they are 1 of the 2 hottest selling new boats on the MS coast right now. I had a guide say he heard some negative things about the hull but I've also heard guides talk negatively about most good value boats. If you're a weekend guy I think it will be fine. Great looking boats.

I believe it's the old fish master hull.

I pass their plant almost daily. Damn good looking boats but have never heard anything about them which could be a good thing.

Slight high jack but if epic is your price range, it's worth at least taking a look at the new Bulls Bay boat made by pioneer. We got one and have enjoyed it thus far. Good fit and finish. They bought the old sea pro design and redesigned through pioneer.

I've also heard that epic bought a design from somebody, can't remember. Seeing a ton of epic's in ms and they're sharp.

I thought about buying a CCA raffle ticket for a 22', theyre selling less than 1000 tickets so chances arent terrible.

The dealer locator isnt working on the website. Who sells them in the New Orleans / Baton Rouge area?

Saw one on Little Caillou this past weekend. Looked sharp.

Totally unrelated, but I also saw a new Blackjack this past weekend. Holy moly. That thing was fine.
