opinions on bassboats
Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2005 7:32 pm
I've already posted this in a different section, but it was suggested that it's be better if I posted this here.
I'm looking to get my first bass boat (right now I am just in the research stage) and thought I'd like to hear some opinions of guys who have been there.
I'm looking for something around 17 feet with 115-150 hp. The boat has to be in the $14,000 to $19,000 range. I'll be towing the boat with a jeep cherokee sport with an inline (4.0 litre) 6. I am narrowing my search to the following lines:
Ranger (probably used, wouldn't we all love a new ranger?)
Triton (another great boat, good value, and rated high for foul weather performance)
Stratos (decent quality at a great price, stable, basically a poor man's ranger)
What are your opinions on these and other models?
Other questions:
Would you buy used? Why or why not?
What's everyone's opinon regarding the Evinrude Etecs?
Thanks all.
