If their aluminum rig with a 150 is 32k, their fiberglass will be outrageous. Price some 19' aluminum rigs with same accessories and you will be surprised. Not a high price at all. Truly it's not a high price. The ranger 198 with a 150 is over 32. The tracker 195 with a 150 is right around 30 if I remember right. This looks like a dang nice aluminum.
I can backlash toilet paper.

Why on earth put what looks like a 19+ boat with all bells and whistles at classic out there with danged single axle trailer! That plus rude was a terrible enveiling imho! Yeah I wasnt impressed. Orange looks gay too. Longhorn Orange looks gay ? Yes, extremely. That's why they're in Austin.

That being said looks cool from pics hope it is a good boat. Cant hurt having another line of bass boats. JD

Guess we'll find out in a few weeks, the hype has seemed to fade.

I saw them at the boat show and I was not impressed. The interior layout was a little strange. Not for me.

I saw one of these a few months ago. My mind was "It looks like a tin boat but not really a tin boat?". So I walked over to look at one. Do any of you think that it will ride more like a tin boat or more like a fiberglass boat? I think it will still ride like a tin boat.

Never been in one but have read several reports that they ride and fish like a glass boat. It does not look like a tin boat at all to me, if you were not able to see the welds most folks would swear it was a glass boat. The glass boats will be revealed at the Classic March 15, will be interesting to see what they have come up with.

I wonder if the other aluminum manufacturers run their stringers all the way to the front? I'm pulling for 'em if nothing else for the way these Ranger guys exited when BPS bought them....they didn't dance around the bush....lol. ![[Linked Image]](https://static.visionamp.co/rubix/20190214/orig_f74d38fa20ffa57b445f5568a67ee599ae83c319.jpg)

I personally think the wait has not been good marketing at all. Early last year around the Classic they were saying the glass boat would be released in the Fall. I know things happen, but they are really going to have to knock it out of the park on this glass boat. I mean their aluminum boat has been out over a year and the fact you don't see hardly any around Texas lakes is not good. I think I've only seen 1 on the water.
Not knocking the boat brand at all. But there has been a lot of hype from them as a company with a lot of delays.......so the boat better be a homerun!

Still trying to figure out weather their glass boat is going to be an ultra premium sled to cater to a niche market or priced right to give Nitro a run for their money.
