Where would you throw Key West in that group?
Don't know much about them TBH. Great looking boats though.

Top tier: yellowfin
Second tier: Shearwater, pathfinder, blackjack
Third tier: Champion, ranger, triton
Fourth tier: frontier, nautica star, blue wave, blazer bay
Obviously I left some out and it doesn't mean that I think they are inferior these are just the really popular ones. For instance I also really like the majek and haynie boats but they are almost a breed all alone. Fwiw I have a 22' pathfinder and I really enjoy it. Not a great boat for breaking waves but it handles chop fine. They are all geared for different scenarios.

Blue waves are good boats but I think they are starting to mass produce thek and raise the prices at the same time which can be a disaster.
Pathfinders and Blazer Bays are good riding boats for how much water they draw.
If you have the money a shearwater is a sweet riding boar and they can get in pretty skinny water.
I owned a blackjack and it is the best riding bay boat in chop that I have ever been in. Better than all boats previouslg mentioned and it isn'tt close.
The newer Tritons are good in chop as well. Still not as good as a blackjack but better than all the others.

I think shearwater is fine, but I've heard some people grumbling about problems. I hear the YF is a bad mofo, but haven't been in their bayboat. Everglades I thought were well built until a buddy's livewell fell into the hull. I'm partial to Ranger, but it saved me and my wife's life so there's that. Pathfinder almost blew me up and others also. When they first came out they had an issue with fuel tank and it would leak back into bilge. They've obviously corrected the problem. Not sure if they are making them again, but that Avenger is a beast also. The Majek is bad arse also, can get up on plane in a heavy dew.

your best bet is to figure out 1)budget, 2)where you'll be fishing, and 3)type of fishing. Once you do that, you can narrow down your choices.

I would definitely put Young Bay boats in the top tier. They are so expense is the reason you don't see them often. But if you can afford it you got a great boat.

With BlackJack comes more than 70 years of boat-building experience. This extensive knowledge of craftmanship has culminated in the Kenner family’s most innovative, exquisite design yet. In a BlackJack, you stand out of the crowd and can get to the fish faster, safer and drier.
One of the key characteristics of the BlackJack’s hull design is the “Carolina flare.” This concave design on the front allows the hull to cut into the chop and waves more smoothly, without pounding. Combined with the reverse flare of the hull chines, it serves to turn the spray down and away from the boat, making for a smoother, drier ride.
The large lifting strakes on the bottom of the hull help reduce the wetted surface on the hull, meaning a more efficient boat at speed. Aesthetically, the “tumblehome” transom hearkens back to classic wood hulls, as well as the broken shear line of the gunwale.
Also, with BlackJack comes excellent customer service that you’d expect from a small builder with a hands-on approach, including a lifetime limited warranty and a friendly voice on the other end of the phone, should an issue arise.
The handcrafted quality of our boats, as well as their superior performance and beautiful design, are why so many people choose BlackJack. To learn more, order one of our brochures or visit a nearby dealer to see a BlackJack up close. When you experience the ride and style of a BlackJack in person, you’ll understand why our owners are so passionate and loyal.
