Pathfinder if motor is apples to apples with your other options.

Just bought a 21’ Kenner Vision. Absolutely zero regrets.

Had a Kenner for years. Handles the water great. So much so we ran out to the first few rigs out of Grand Isle, and never thought twice about it. Never had any hull issues at all.

You'll get a lot more boat for you money with the kenner than the others. As long as nobody's drilled a bunch of improperly sealed holes in it than itll still be solid. I love kenner hulls.

Pathfinder builds a great boat but theyll be asking too much for it almost all the time. They've always been a high end pricey hull.

Lots of nautic stars out there. I wouldnt be scared of one if I found the right deal.

I wouldnt touch a used blazer or baystealth. I dont think their construction quality is up with the others.

like I told you, cant go wrong with kenner. my dad has a 97 21 with yammy 2 stroke and it looks bran new but he takes care of it. I think his has wood in it but have had no issues.

also stay away from kenners after 06, that's when kenner sold to bass pro and its basically a bass pro mako built boat with kenner on it.

pathfinders for sure are solid boats. im not a fan of nautic stars ride or layouts...plus read the hull truth about them delaminating and the issues so id stay away from those.

baystealths are tanks, I know where a used one is for sale that's in perfect shape.

blazers are good boats for the most part. keep looking..you will find the right one. I know where a frontier is for sale lol jk…

Bill Kenner’s contractual obligation ended in 2005 with BP. It took 3-4 years before BP wrecked the quality. My 05 23v has wood but buddy’s 07 21 doesn’t.
Used will always be a compromise so get as much in the deal as you can afford. What’s your real world budget? 2 or 4 stroke? Length?
Also realize you’re going to be spending money replacing and upgrading on a older boat/motor/trailer.
***deduct $$$$ from any Kenner deal if it comes with the galv box trailer, they ALL have cancer****

BB, has splashed 3 competitor hulls; Kenner 23V, PF, Majek. BB 2400(23V) is >$75k, 21 frontier is the best 21’ bb made for the $ imo. Know I two 23V forsale or coming up forsale.

I love my frontier, its been a great boat.

them 23v are fine. what kinda shape are they in?

Yeah wood is a deal breaker. I've been around boats my entire life living in leeville and a damn hairline crack that you dont see can ruin a hull with the swiftness. It happened on one of ours.
Also want to try to find something capped with rod storage. Every time a frontier comes up for sale, it's gone within a few days.
Every blazer I've been in has given me wet feet within a few hours of fishing in it. Something with the self bailing isnt righg
