[QUOTE="H82bogey, post: 258759, member: 1372"] I have the 1850 in a 2015 model. I really like the boat. I've never taken a ride in the tyee you are referencing, but I really like the reata. I love how much room is behind the windshield for the style of fishing I do. I can stick the family of 5 in the boat and be comfortable all day. I have the Yammy 150 on it and I really like the motor. If you like to pull cranks though, you will probably need a kicker. For me the 150 won't go much slower than 2.3-2.5 on a calm day. When I added the kicker, I gained the control I needed for trolling, but lost 3-4MPH at top end speed on the big motor. The only big negative I don't like about it, is the lack of storage, but that's the trade off for having more room behind the windshield in an 18' class boat. It does ride pretty well. I'm sure in some of the high wind situations on Sak bigger boats ride better, but I don't make long runs in 4' rollers. Overall I am very happy with the boat and would recommend it for someone looking at the reata. However, I think my next boat would be an Angler or something similar by another manufacturer with a bit more storage space. [/QUOTE]
