You guys crack me up complaining about JM. He is the only one keeping a half reasonable priced boat lineup. You guys crack me up complaining about JM. He is the only one keeping a half reasonable priced boat lineup. I never complained about JM when comes to pricing, but I am complaining about JM when it comes to trying to control options on a boat. I understand his interest is with Mercury (as Skeeter is with Yamaha), and at least I can get a 521L with an Evinrude. Im still spending my money JM. It does feel like the industry is shifting to the engine manufacturers are going to have to own their own boat brands

I was on the list to get one of the very first ones to leave the factory, went to the Bass Masters Classic for the unveiling, I was very disappointed in the looks, the pickle fork front end, the grill on the side of the boat, and the handicap railing on the top cap all turned me off. Now with that said, the quality of the boat is top notch, it has some very neat features, and from what I remember they do have rod storage with tubes and neat straps to hold down the rods. After deciding against the Vexus ( at least for a year or two ) we decided to look at all the boats there, we kept being drawn to the Bullet Boat display, after crawling around one and talking with the factory folks we decided to order one, should be here in a month or so, excited to give them a try.

You guys crack me up complaining about JM. He is the only one keeping a half reasonable priced boat lineup. He is only waiting till he runs all the other manufacturers out of business so he can get top dollar for his Nitro. This coming from a current Nitro owner. Just look back in history, how many small boat companies did he run out of business with his cheap aluminum boat pricing, then caught the mid tier boats with the Nitro package pricing, then buy all the other you can and shut the doors.

You might want to take a look at the new Skeeter boat coming out this year...I hear it is going to be Awesome and way less than a Ranger. still $80-90 grand. You have to be filthy rich to afford one of those every few year (or ever). Or REALLY want people to think you are....

I think the other manufacturers you speak of didn’t sell enough boats that’s on them. Doubt J M held a gun to their head and made them sell. Basscat sold out what about that J M doesn’t own them.
