Here was my first bass boat. A 1976 Skeeter Wrangler II 16 footer. It came with a Chrysler Charger 115 hp outboard and a 12/24 volt TM. I fished out of it for 12 years until the motor blew and the transom rotted. It was a great handling boat and would run 60 mph (fast for those days). I hope my Alpha 211 outlasts it. I know it can't out fish it.  That is an awesome analogy!!!

In '93 I was fishing in my 3rd 19' BCB Pantera. I dropped out of fishing for about 12 yrs. When I decided to fish again I just automatically called a dealer in Houston and bought another Pantera over the phone. The boat has always been good enough for me and really I'm glad I have it...but I didn't realize that all the major mfg had made 18', 150 hp, single axel trailer, boats. They would have only saved me about $5k, but they would be okay with me to fish from. Just slow the +++ down when it's rough!
