Was 43 years old when I got my first bass boat. It was this 1988 Champion 176SC. Gave $4,500 for it in 2006 and was like a kid in a candy store. Merc 150 xr2 was one cold blooded SOB but once she warmed up she would run. Sold her 10 years later for the same price.
Took two years before I upgraded. 2018 I got this 2012 Phoenix 721 and absolutely love it. Probably the last boat I buy unless I hit the lottery.

Fountain 27 Fever w/ Procharged 540. Spun a labbed 28 P5X to 87mph in that boat. Could run true 3' at 70 if they were spaced right. That was a super fun boat to run and my favorite.

My current boat....Legend V-20. I don't think there's been a better bass boat built yet. Still holding hopes someone brings them back at some point.
Me too bro. Your boat is one of the most well thought out designs and best looking boats on the water but their numbers just didn't warrant keeping them.

My current boat is my true favorite but I had a john boat that I picked up for $100 my first year in College and found a trailer for $50, seven horse motor for $300 and bought a TM new. I have really fond memories of that john boat but I can't even compare it to my current setup.

No doubt...everything from looks to performance to use was thought out in that boat. The only negative I could ever come up with is the seats could have been a little more comfortable.
Did you notice the ironic imagry of my post? Two of the greatest ever no longer available...that was parked in the Monticello parking lot!
