Just buy my boat it will go 65-69 mph. 98 BassCat 19' 200 Mariner.


God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know when to go fishing.

two axles says to me it's at least a 19'. Mine is 18', PRO 275 XL , max rated HP is 140 and single axle.
Just a little more information....as for the motor.....
Have a qualified marine mechanic check out the motor BEFORE you buy any boat.
I don't know where you live, but over here in my neck of the woods, west of Ft Worth, the man in my signature is a danged good, certified and qualified marine mechanic. Ask any on here that know Cal Burch...his phone number is in my signature
Hope that helps a little ??
God Bless

There seems to be a decent deal on an older bass cat in the trading post FYI

hard to beat those older Stratos boats. My old 201ProXL had a 200 evinrude and it would run just a little under 70. Great fishing platform.

Thanks for all the input for my budget the stratos may be what I end up with although I found a ranger I'm going to go look at Monday it's a 1998 19ft with a 200 murcery if checks out to be what I think it is ill buy it.



I saw the bass cat and would love to have it but a little out of my budget with the bass cat being priced at $14,000 although that does seem to be priced right.

I'm located just south of canton tx
