Default Island Hopper 30

Any opinions out there on the Island Hopper 30 with a single diesel, Ill be using it on lake Erie to replace a 26 Penn Yan which has been a great boat, seems like for the price its a hell of boat, and has the cockpit space and hardtop Im looking for, without all the costly bells and whistles I dont need

There is a charter out of Cape May that runs one. While drifting the rips next to him, I have greatly admired the boat for its cockpit fishing space with the clean transom and wide beam. It appears to be a very stable boat. I have never riden on one to comment further. You can see photos of the Charter guy I speak of here: http://www.stalkerfishingcharters.com/captains.htm (I believe I had read where the boat is for sale and he is having a boat built)

quick search shows their website here:

http://seahawkboats.com/

"Island Hopper Boats, Sea Hawk Boats, and Pro Boats
Three of the greatest names in the commercial boat industry - joined together at last! One convenient location for these three legendary brands means one stop shopping for the best boat!"

Is this the company you speak of tg?
