Majek advice

[fathernson]

It's about time for a new boat. Leaning towards the majek 20v any input from anyone that has one or has been in one?

I run the illusion and love it. Ask aqua pimp about that mod

[ZAPATA]

I have an 07' extreme and still runs great! (knock on wood).

[Longhornbubba]

I also have an Illusion and love it as well.I think it's perfect for West Bay.

[fathernson]

Nice my main worry with these things is how they will handle chop any opinions on that

[ZAPATA]

You will get wet with chop in the extreme and its a little bumpy as well. But that is not what this type of majek is made for.

[Longhornbubba]

Never gotten wet in mine unless it's raining and if you no how to drive it ain't rough.What is your definition of chop or do you mean 3' swells because a lot of boats don't ride swells very well.

[ZAPATA]

When you say chop, Im thinking 2.5'+

[fathernson]

Im talking when its only 1-2 but they are whitecapping

[ZAPATA]

1's are no problem. 2's while whitecaping (depending on wind direction) your prob going to get some spray. The ride is good as long as you time the waves right. Anything above 2.5", your gonna get a little wet and it's a little bumpy. Overall, I love my Majek and wouldn't trade it in. It drafts 12" but I believe I get through some skinnier water at times. The Majek is a great boat with low sides. It does a great job in all of galveston bay complexes. I try to avoid the open bays if there is 2.5"+. I don't think you will be disappointed if you are wanting the boat for bay fishing and getting into the back lakes. With that said, if you want to get into 6" water, them this is not the boat to run it in.

[ZAPATA]

Keep in mind, I am running the extreme model.

Heck in 2.5' chop/whitecapsunless I'm running straight on/into the waves, in my 23' robalo CC, I get spray on cross waves. Any boat will soak ya in crosswaves unless it's a crewboat, workboat or yacht.
