I assume you are asking because you want to save a few $ and buy a older boat. If I were you I would buy a older Champion and put a new engine on it and be happy and have plenty of cash leftover to buy Yellow Magics. But that's just me. Yes sir. Hang a 250 on just about any 20' John Storie boat and you will have a big front deck and a great, dry ride. Everything else on the boat can be updated and added on.

good morning,
I know moving the gas tanks forward has elimated a lot of chine walking....the balance is better and reworking the chines has help a bunch....all bass boats look like arrowheads....just saying
good luck,
PURA VIDA,
bluebonnet2 That's not an improvement, its compensating for people who don't know how to drive.

Wider decks and they sit higher to the top cap.
Im with OP, im going to buy a 05ish 20' with a 250 and deck it all out. I cant see myself buying a new one to fish the way I do.

the original post asks if there have been any game changer improvements in the last 10-15 years.....my opinion is there have not been any game changer improvements since bassboats went from coffin style to pad boats with steering wheels....been a lot of improvements like bigger front decks,extended transoms,composite instead of wood but no game changers...

Yes having a transom that won't rot out is totally minut
