What do you mean? What is JM doing to Ranger and Triton? Rumor is that Triton will be going away after 2020. This came from a very reliable source that is a BASS Elite Pro on their Pro Staff. Notice all the Triton pros are leaving the brand. 13 out of the current 80 BPT pros are running Tritons. They are very well represented there. I bet there are 8-10 at least in the Elites. Have not seen any announcements of anyone leaving yet this year but that does not mean it will not happen. www.megabassusa.com

My list would go Ranger, Skeeter, Phoenix, bass cat, Triton. The fit and finish of a Ranger or top of the line Skeeter is unmatched IMO. I love these threads. I've owned three Skeeters and one Charger in thirty years. The Charger, a mid-nineties version, was trash. I should have bought a Skeeter then. I know all listed are more expensive and they are probably all pretty good. When I get real old I hope I don't regret having never bought a Ranger or a Bass Cat. 2024 Skeeter FXR-L, Yamy 250 SHO

They bought a 210 and splashed the hull. Same with the 198.
