One of the most highly anticipated flops in fishing? DFW is bass boat capital of world I I have seen exactly one on the tin cans and zero of the big boats.

It's a little early to call the brand a flop.


The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach

I have seen several at the High School events, and one of the guys in my club has one, seem to be a good boat so far

I agree that it is too early to call them a flop. Although I've yet to see any on the water, I do see them for sale somewhat regularly. Online and at boat shops.

Same as caymas. Boatworld dropped Triton ranger to be a skeeter caymas dealer. They aren't going anywhere anytime soon

Are they the big ones or the tin boats? And there is a dealer for them about 15 minutes from my house so I kinda thought if I saw them anywhere Id see them here.

And while flop may be a strong word, they were pre hyped for a long long time, it was a constant topic here and now it's not mentioned at all.

If they aren’t selling them by the bushels in this economy, they are doomed in the future. I guess when they have $50k profit in a boat, they don’t have too sale as many though. I have seen 1 aluminum rig at the lake and it sounded horrible slapping against the waves, maybe all aluminums do though, not sure.

I have seen zero of either. I have fished a few 200+ tourneys this year...nada.

However, I have seen over 20 new FXR’s!!

Why would you pay 80-100k for a boat that has not established a name yet, when you can go buy a FXR for the same dang price???

wouldn't say they were a flop but when they first came out they said every other bass boat would be obsolete when they were released to the public at the classic turned out they were just another high priced bass boat. they are selling some but as good as the bass boat market is 90k plus bass boats are not an easy sell.

People are usually afraid of being the “guinea pig” on a brand new product. Even if it was heavily marketed and “highly anticipated”. New technology transmission or motor from the automoble manufacturers, new outboard motor.....and certainly a completely new brand. Never too early to speculate confusedbut way too early to make a call. thumb
