Where do you guys rank this boat? I will be in the market for a boat soon and it seems for the price the used Pro Crafts are much more affordable. I've fished out of just about every boat but this one.

Very good in rough water. But the hull isn't very tough.

If you fish for stripers in open water, might be fine. I wouldn't buy one for bass fishing up in the wooded creeks. JMHO

My dad had 1998 procraft 21ft and the rod boxes and storage boxes always smelled like gas fumes.

I have a 185 pro I bought new in 1997. she runs great and have had very little trouble with her. only wish now is that I should have bought a 210 pro for the ride. the 210 rides as nice as any other on the market. IMHO. but you will get the na sayers when it come to a procraft. oh by the way this is my 3rd pro. only down side is resale.

I rode in one it wasn't bad at all but the deck seemed really narrow compared to most others.

I fish out of a 2001 and one and love it. It is a solid boat. Treat her right and she will return the favor.

I bought a 94 18' new and ran it for 19 years. It actually had more storage space in it then some of the new boats you see now.

Did real good in rough water like ten footers at Champlain and large rivers with ships, crusiers and tugs.

In Texas in the wood it slid off the wood nice but after ten years of Lake Fork wood we had a gator hull installed by Lake Fork Fiberglass. When I sold it in 2013 I got my asking price because the fella, who fishes a wood filled lake as well, bought it because of their reputation and the gator hull.

The 150 Merc that was on it only gave me trouble one time. Had to replace the starter. That whole setup was great.

I fish out of a 2000 210 super pro and like it. Fished for 10 years out of a 20' Cobra and like this one just as much or better. Great boat for the prices they can be found at.

Aren't they basically a Nitro? I've always hear they were solid, not spectacular, but an all around solid boat.

the old Nitros had problems with the motor pulling the transom off the boat.

Procraft were made by the Brunswick corportaion and then eventually sold to BPS who probably felt that since they were near in price it would be better to discontinue the line.

They are good boats coach. Astros were good boats too and the same hull for some years. I would buy a procraft if the opportunity and situation fit without hesitation
