17ft VIP Bass Boat with 70 Chrysler 18ft Cajun with Johnson GT 150 18 ft Champion 181 with Johnson 150 Fastrike 17ft Explorer with Mercury 115 22ft Nautic Star with 200 Yamaha Saltwater Series II 19ft Basscat Pantera Classic with Mercury 200 Optimax 22 Majek Extreme with 200 Suzuki
Favorite bass boat was the Champion Favorite Saltwater is the Majek. Still have it. It’s in perfect shape. It’s probably the last boat I will ever own, Best motor was 150 Fastrike. Did absolutely nothing to it. Ran the cheap Walmart TCW3 oil in it. Worst motor was the Optimax. I had several issues with it. I sold the boat to my brother because he wanted it. Said I was asking $5,000 less than I should. He’s had a number of issues with it. Boat is solid. Basscat build a solid boat. Just rides rough compared to the Champ or Charger he and.
Probably had the most fun out of the Champion back when I fished Tournaments. We caught a lot of fish out of that boat.
I like my current boat a 22ft Majek Extreme with 200 Suzuki a lot. We take a couple of week long trips each year to LA. May trip is alway to Venice. Fall trip has been to Calcasieu, Cocodorie and Delacroix. Also annual company tournament in Rockport. I need to get out to fish more this year. You can’t do those wade fishing trips forever. Prefer to wade.
