Location: Planet Meltdown | I don't think either boat is better than the other. It's honestly like the old Chevy vs Ford debate. Both boats are really nice, IMO can't go wrong with either. I have a Fishhawk and love it. I've also fished out of Competitors and really like them as well. Both are great multi species boats. My only pet peve about my Fishhawk is the rod lockers will not fit 9' rods. The center locker will fit 8' rods if you pop the end caps off and the side will fit 8 1/2' rods. Other than that, no complaints. One deciding factor you should consider is if you fish a lot of big water or not. Some say that riveted boats hold up better in big water because they flex but rivets have been known to leak over time. A welded hull like a Creasliner will not flex much but I only go on a few big water tips a year so for me it's not an issue. If you are looking for new, I would get dealer recommendations then go check them out yourself, ask lots of questions, and decide which one is best for you. |
