Check out florida sportsman best boat series they have one on al bay boats. The Seaark is an awesome boat. I special ordered a 2072 vjon which is the same hull. as the one you mentioned. I went with a 175 suzuki with a 6" hydraulic jack plate, small al center console and front and rear decks. Lots of room for fishing the 40 gallon live well is huge. The ride is awesome I have the boat a year now and have yet to wet when running it nice soft dry ride.
Did you get the float pods? I may order the 2072 vfx in January and am debating on whether or not to get them. Some people say get them others say not necessary. I'm looking at the deluxe center console with Suzuki df140a, hydraulic steering, ss prop, rear deck mounted leaning post and single axle aluminum trailer. Am considering a dual axle trailer instead and debating about the float pods. Do you feel the pods are needed?
The main advantage to pods is for the hole shot. If you are going to use a jacl plate, and I suggest it if you are going to coastal fish, you really don't need them, IMHO. I have a Bob's hydraulic with the hole shot cover on the bottom, no pods, and I have a three second hole shot and I'm on top of the water running 4500, and that's with a 90HP Etec.. A lot of people have them so there must be some benefit to them, I just didn't find it necessary on my Seaark. Seaarks warranty is only good using up to a 6" JP, but I found that to be plent of setback for my boat.
