Just get a BassCat and don't worry about it. What he said.

my bass cat doesn't jump out of the hole tourney loaded with two guys 275 running a fury 26 , but it beats everyone else running down the boat lane at blast off after i plane out and get the trim right.....i have heard rangers are faster now but i have not seen one that can do 74 mph. mine is the fastest in our club, no one has a gambler, allison or blazer. my boat empty did 85.3 i wanted the speed, but i love it because i feel the fit and finish is second to none. plus i feel the basscat vacuum process on the glass is better than the rest with LIFETIME TRANSFERABLE HULL WARRANTY, no bs like the triton i had with a difference of 10 years warranty after the initial sale...... Don't get worked up about the lifetime warranties. They're not worth the paper they're written on. After a decade, any of them can find an excuse about why your hull has issues.

LEGEND!! Make sure you go check out the best looking and best rough riding boat out there before you buy. Was recently at Texoma in 2-3 footers for a tourney when others stayed near launch site. Some say I was crazy and foolish (all drove rangers, BC, etc), I just say comfortable and confident. Legends are getting better and better. It wont be long that we are top sellers...word is getting out.
Did I mention best looking....

I have had Skeeters, Rangers, Cajun's, Kingfishers and now run and prefer a Basscat. Its all about preference. Like everyone said, ride, drive and fish from several brands and models. Take your time and do your homework to find YOUR preference.
Good Luck!

I thought Triton was only behind Ranger in glass boats, sure did not no that Phoenix sold that many rigs.

Ive owned a few new and used had some good ones and bad. I bought a new bullet XRS if you have not looked at them you should. Its a new model for Bullet and they are reasonably priced for the quality fit and finish you get. Have owned it for 9 months all I can say is wow! great rough water ride very comfortable roomy and loaded with all the fancy latches and other neat features. Oh yea you will save a ton on fuel I have a 300 merc on mine and it gets 3 times the mileage of my carb 225 and one more thing. Its FAST !
Hope this helps
Bob

Skeeter. You dont have to worry about learning how to drive through a chine walk. All of their boats are powermatched to the horsepower . That means anyone can turn the key and safely run at speed. Best warranty in the boat market. The books will show you Skeeter has been the leader in bass boats since the beginning.
