I'm looking at buying a brand-new bass boat. I've owned one new boat ever, then was sponsored for several years with free boats, so I've ran my share, plus about nine used boats that I've owned. I also sold and rigged bass boats for about 16 years. Things have changed, some, but I do know boats.



So, a contest- first one to guess which THREE brands I've narrowed this down to (not meaning I won't change my mind 'cuz STUFF happens) gets a box of my own custom-painted crankbaits, jerkbaits and topwaters. A box of them, no strings. EVERYONE ought to try this. FREE baits. There you go.

Rules- New boats only one guess per customer. If no one gets it, we'll do a round two. PEACE.

Three boats. Guess away...

1 - Bass Cat

I will guess at #3 a little later but I have a couple ideas in mind like Vexus and Skeeter.

Got to think on this some.

Since you said new, that takes Legend out of the equation (love mine)

Phoenix
Ranger
Skeeter

All very stable boats to fish out of.

Gonna say Phoenix, Skeeter, Xpress.  By the way thanks for taking my question of which three you were choosing from and turning it into a contest!😂😂 Should have known you wouldn't have just given it up that easy!😂😂

The Ranger will be the cheapest but by no means is it cheaper built. My neighbors new one is a sweet ride in rough water also. If money is not an issue the Skeeter would be my choice with Ranger very close.

Okay, it has to be NEW. I've already posted that if I buy the one USED boat that I know about that it is a Cat. And you're welcome FishinBuck.

Okay, to have a contest I guess has to be rules. There's just one here- one guess only (except Kurt gets another chance because of the Legend guess, and I would LOVE a good used Legend hull).

Beings you never ever really mentioned what circuit you're planning on fishing  :-\

My picks are as follows; Skeeter, Nitro, Ranger

I want to say (2 of the 3) boats mentioned have additional paybacks at the Tournaments Circuits they sponsor.

Fair 'nuff Donald.

Tournament incentives will have zero influence in my decision. I plan (plan???) to fish mostly the solo-type tourneys here in MO, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Plan to. I don't really like buddy tournaments, although of course I'll probably fish some. There is a WHOLE 'nother world to think about that I'm not ready to pursue, but it involves a resume'.

I plan to do at least some guiding again too.

Phoenix
Falcon
Bass Cat

My top pick is Phoenix. Honestly the PHX rides better than any other I've ever ridden or driven.

I've heard amazing things about Cats. Only ridden in one - Bo's (bless you kind sir and I hope your wearing them out in heaven)

Falcon, because it's got ROOM up there on the front deck for 16 rods easily.

I'm going to throw a bone out there as I've already guessed and didn't take this into consideration. Dale said he had to drive to a long distance to a state (you'll have to find it) to see a boat he's looking at because there are no dealers near him. Well nearly all boats are made in Arkansas with a couple in Tennessee, sooo

I would concur with your Phoenix talk there.  That is why I bought one last year, and it isn't just their PHX models that are great.  I got the Pro model and it rides great too!!

that's what I get for not following glass boat brands...   :shocking:
;D

Pat Dilling

I know the 3 I considered, so will apply that to your selection process:
Nitro, Phoenix, Skeeter

Enjoy your new boat!
I knew I shoulda re-tied!!

I like how some of ya'll picked up on a few little hints, plus I've also said a few things in other posts.

I'm giving away a bunch of very good baits- where is everybody?
