Havoc, Ambush, or Edge Boats

I've ridden in a Havoc and an Ambush. Both were awesome. Prodigy boats is another company worth looking at if you're looking for a custom performance aluminum boat. Any reputable custom boat manufacturer is going to give you a good product. I'd just go with the one that has the options you want for the best price.

I have a Phowler and I love it, but it's not intended to be all sleek like those boats.

I'm not familiar with these new boats, but I will say this.

I never understood the allure of War Eagle boats. They are nice, but for a hunting machine I'd take an Alumaweld with a back bench, open floor, and a small casting deck for 1/3 the price all day.

Something like this with a 25 is all I need...

Prodigy is just way too over priced and really don't offer anything to justify more than double what you can buy the other three for.

I mean all three of the boats you mentioned are pretty expensive as far as aluminum boats go. I mentioned Prodigy because they're in the same category as the aforementioned as far as design goes. The only thing you're getting that differentiates them from other brands (Brother Breaux, Cottonmouth, Pro Drive, Phowler, etc.) is a more streamlined look, and even that's debatable. All of those boat companies will build you a custom boat to a certain extent.

I ran a 1442 Weldcraft with a 25 yammy through stuff that most guys wouldn't put a surface drive. That's all you need. My Phowler is much more versatile and has more features. It's got a poling platform, pirogue rack, extended deck, gunbox, trolling motor mount, lights, etc., but it's not necessarily a "better" boat.
