Which boat would you buy? poll

If you were going to buy a boat which one would it be.

If money was no object, definitely a Legend.

Legend for sure sweetest looking boat on the market in my opion

Got to be a Legend.

Ranger, 21ft Center Console, 250 Yammie 4 stroke, dual Powerpoles, hydraulic jack plate, Humminbirds to the max and a new Lexus LX 560 to pull it. You said $$ was no object.

Bass Cat if you like speed with a awesome ride and very fish-able !! But it is all in what you want there is a lot of great boats out there you need to find the one that fits you.

Legend or BassCat. I would go with Legend if it were my money though.

Skeeter, Stratos, and Bullet shouldnt even be in the same poll with the others mentioned.

Gambler? Sterling? That is my lotto boat.

1. Gambler
2. Stroker
3. Bullet
4. Legend

I would probably get a new Phoenix.

Another ProGator....!!!

Bass Cat if you like speed with a awesome ride and very fish-able !! But it is all in what you want there is a lot of great boats out there you need to find the one that fits you. What jigging said +100...

Champion ,sigh, Rest in peace.....

If Cobra gets back in the game, I would definately buy another one! Had my 2002 cobra coosa 201D since it was new and It has exceeded my expectations and then some. I do like the new phoenix boats but I would make a couple of changes! Ron C...

GAMBLER for sure

Give me a CAT

Ranger Z21 all the way!

If you have never been in a Basscat you are missing out out. Their customer service is second to none too.

Get what makes you happy, not what others like. Drive all of them then you will know what you want.

Ranger,2nd would be a Legend.

Z521 with 250 sho

Phoenix, I road with the owner of Phoenix boats, Gary Clouse and the lay out of the boat was awesome. Wish I had one.

You can have all the rest..give me an alpha 211 with a 250 pro xs. HDS 10 at the wheel, an 8 at the bow, SS, and twin power poles.

Off the list a Legend but would have to be my first choice would be a Phoenix.

I am a BassCat guy, but when it comes to this amount of money the one you like the best. Its your money and your boat.

Skeeter FX or IClass

Bass Cat!

Stroker, BassCat and Legend are the only three that I would consider if I were in the market for a boat.

Currently I own a BassCat and don't plan on getting anything else anytime soon.

None of the above. I would buy another Nitro!

you didn't leave a choice for me-other.

Where is the Nitro choice?

Legend.

Legend,,,,,is there any other's......

bass cat or phoenix for sure

If money is no object: new Ranger Z521
If money is an object: used Triton

Ranger, then Legend, then Champion.

Ranger Z521 with a Yamaha SHO

Legend or BassCat will be my next boat.

Triton 21 HP with a 300 xs on the back. I still have the need for speed and want a boat that fishes second to none.

having been in both the legend and bass cat, bass cat for sure -- same deck space, but better ride/performance in the cat; however the only two other boats I would consider would be a Skeeter-best fishability/perf combo out there or Ranger -- cause I am a retired Ranger and they are, and have been for years, THE standard!! However the wife wants a nitro Z-9 cdc so we will see on who wins out on the next one...

wish wish wish get a row boat dh

Huuuummmm! I like the legend... from an engineering and quality perspective, because that is what I do for a living... thus I choose Legend!

I would run an Alpha 211 Legend all Day long.

Dual Poles with Dual HB 1198s and 250 Yami SHO.

Dayum, think I might need to upgrade.

Anyone interested in a 2010 Alpha 211. LMAO.

I love the Champion/Stratos boats.

+1

Whats wrong with eveybody? SKEETER! All the way!

Ranger Z520!!!! 250 Pro xs on the back!

so that your hull can delaminate on you while on a pad? no thanks...

Ranger Z521 with 250 pro XS

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.

Ranger

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.

You see what I just bought!

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.

Ken,
No more need for speed?

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.

+1

if I had to buy another bassboat it would be a Legend.
but a Nautic Star 2200 tournament sure would be nice

BassCat!!! Pantera II to be exact

Uh Oh someone must have got outrun. Obviously you have not seen the new eyra. Or the jag.

I would choose a Bullet - The ride is dry and FAST thats why all other boat mgf. try copping there hull design - Check out what right for YOU and Your needs.

. Now that's funny

Dang Ken, if you wanted to ride with a Legend, you should have just jumped in the boat with me!

guess everybody has their opinion.... I think Bass Cats look pretty good, not to mention the ride is a lot better than a Skeeter

Legend alpha 211!

From the list choices, Legend. First would actually be ProGator. Phoenix wasn't listed either and I'd look at it as a second, tied with Legend.

Sterling, Gambler, Sterling, the quality is second to none!!!!

Ranger Z520, with Yamaha SHO 250!!

21i with new 250 4 stroke

I have been in most boats as a non boater, and the Legend would not be at the top of my list. storage seems slim, rougher ride than others and rocks bad side to side. (I am not very big either) I rode in Cat at Red River and it was lighting fast, and fished well, but Skeeter is still my fav.

I've been wanting to do a poll like this so thanks! Ranger for me, but I've heard lots of good things about Skeeter, Bass Cat, Legend and Triton.

Really, it would be a Lowe Roughneck aluminum, camo. 16 ft., 25 horse Yammy four stroke, Motorguide 70 lb.

Wow. Let it go. Seen the same thing happen to other boats also.

SKEET SKEET!!

Those big silver vents are a safety feature and all boats should run them. They circulate the fuel fumes from the bilge area so when you plug up your charger and get an arc you don't burn your boat down.
