Good looking boat!

#3 Wash down pump.
It's on my short list for my bay boat. I have to say too I switched to a bay boat because of spinal surgery and getting in and out of the drivers seat of a bass boat became next to impossible. Now that I've had mine for a year I dont think I would go back to a bass boat even if I could.

I did - TRITON

I've owned five of them. Three 20 footers and two 21' 10" boats. Everybody that has ever ridden with me in my big Bullets was amazed at the performance, speed, maneuverability, and ride. Folks that think a bassboat hull has to weigh 1,900# to ride well in rough water are misinformed.

I have to agree I was really surprised when I rode with Randy in his 21'10" Bullet, and it fished better then I thought it would to.

For a bass boat. Phoenix 921 won in a raffle. 250 Mercury pro XS with life time warranty. 2 12" Huummingbirds at the console and another 2 on the front deck. Minnkota Ultrex and two power poles.

This one rigged out just like this is perfect for me.

So many nice boats on the market these days. I don't know what I would replace my Legend with if I were in the market for a new one. I would definitely consider another Basscat. I was also impressed with the new Phoenix's I fished from recently. Skeeters look great.

I love the looks of the new V20 & V21 Legends although the future of Legend may be uncertain. My gut tells me Mr. Morris bought it for the modern facility to build Ranger & Triton. I fear Legend will go by the way of Champion.

I will admit I am intrigued by the upcoming Vexus boats. I hate the name but I am anxious to see what Keith Daffron & Randy Hopper come up with. My guess is they will come out with a premium boat that looks suspiciously similar to a Ranger but at a very reasonable price for three to four years until they start signing some of the Elites then the price will take a big jump much the way Phoenix did.

So to answer the OP's original question about my "dream bass boat" that's a tough one.

Everything out their says Legend is only going to build the V-20 going forward and only till the end of 2019 for the time being. That may change then depending on how it goes. The Vexus is interesting to see the final outcome of what they build.

BassCat Eyra with cavalier hull

That is such a hard question for me to answer. I honestly don't think my dream boat is made. In no particular order it would be one of the following in Blue/Silver/Black color combination

Bullet 21XRS with a removable passenger console or at very least dual console, but its only made in single

Charger 496 with a little more modern thought of fishing style update on top cap and removable console

Charger 210 and give me an option to change the large front center storage to 2 separate lids and compartments

Bass Cat Cougar/Puma - Get rid of day box compartment in front storage on Cougar or net storage on Puma


Some of that is nit picking, but you said dream boat. I've owned all but the Bullet and I'm in a Charger 496 now. They are all great boats built by great companies and all did something better than the others and all didn't do something as well as the others.

Allison xb21 for fun or Charger 210 for fishing.

This^^^ the old Champion 221 was listed at 1600lbs and will outride pretty much any bass boat in the nasty stuff

They do make the XRS in dual console now ... here's one below without the windshields installed

Interesting. I looked on the website right before posting too and its not listed. Do you have picture of front deck? Is it exact to the XRS? What do they do with the small day box/ice chest in front of deck?

What is the model #?
