When it comes to questions like these, you really have to make a list of what you want your boat to do for you.

Out of the boat options you listed they all fish/drive/perform very different from one another.

If you ask a skeeter guy he'll more than likely say skeeter, basscat guy etc etc.

Be very wary of opinions you see on the internet, alot of people talk about boats and different models like they know them very well but have more than likely never seen or ridden in one, i have seen some odd parings mentioned here, like i would get x boat or x boat, and they are in completely different leagues with no reasons why.

But i'll give what i would buy from your list and why

1, skeeter. I've owned a bunch of them, they perform well, fish excellent and are well built. If i lost my ally for some reason i'd prolly get another one.

2,Bullet, perform very well, good fishing layout, not all of the bells and whisles of the newer boats but still a nice machine. Almost bought one a while back, again if i didn't have the ally this would be high on my list

3, the triton, i love to fish out of my buddies tr-21 but i don't like they way it handles. it's not very nible in really tight rivers and bayous

4, basscat nice boats haven't fished out of a ton of them so i'm kinda limited here in experience, i'd take one if given to me

the rest are a toss up as far as i'm concerend.

go look and drive and fish out of a ton of them and make up your own mind, what makes you happy in a boat might not make me happy at all and vise versa.

Already bought it!!! and unfortunately it is no longer on your list. Due to an unfortunate accident which totalled my previous 203, I found a 2008 Champion 203 LTD in the back of a boat shop in December 2009. It was 203 #3, built again for only that year, and had almost everything I was looking for - especially the 250 HPDI on the back. Since I got back a reasonable amount from the insurance co. for the total of my previous Champion, I withdrew some retirement money and paid cash for it. Ain't NO WAY I'm gonna live in TX w/o a bass boat -and the Champion 203, well, I didn't even look at another boat.

Insurance covered that boat because it was found to be impact damage. Plus I've had 4 Nitro's caught a bunch of fish out of them and have had any problems, and I will save about $25,000 dollars.

Skeeter for me!!. BassCats are butt ugly. My old 83 Skeeter had those silver vents on the back that Bass Cat still puts on thier boats, and the glove compartment box is the same I had on a center console john boat I had when I was a kid. Why does BassCat still use all that old ugly stuff on thier boats?

After Skeeter I like Legends as they just look good and have that big front deck.
