Christmas is over and so a New year begins. With this new year there are many new wish's that we think about. One being maybe a new boat for the coming fishing season? So if you could sell yours what would you replace it with and why?

Things that make you go hummmmm and also make you broke!!!!!!!!!

i guess if i was gonna get a new boat, it would either be a humongous cobra or a new bumblee bee. i olved the way the cobra handled and i love the speed of the bee. who knows.

Wow, that is one TOUGH question. I think I might have to think about that for...maybe...a split second.

Why - to get a bigger one.

Replace it with....

NITRO

That is really a NO brainer.

Okay then. I would "pass down" my boat, (I can't call it "getting rid of it). I would go to a larger boat that is big enough to carry my gear and has a larger front deck. I really like the new Verado engines for the simple reason of simplicity. 4 stroke, no 2 stroke oil. effeciency. I would have to choose between two boats for sure and a possible 3rd brand that I am waiting for information on. Those being #1 the 929, #2 an "FX" series Bumblebee, that hasn't been delivered to any dealers yet, and #3 A Legend. So that about does it...................Dave

If price was no option I would go with a Gambler simply because that are fairly fast and look very fast. I have a buddy that has one and I love the way it rides and fishes. If money was a factor I would go with a new Cobra simply because I love the one I have. I don't think there is a better handling boat on the water, the fishablity is increadable with very large storage boxes and a very large front deck. The only reason I would trade in my boat now is because she needs some beautification work. With that said and money being a factor I am going to spend my dollars making her look pretty again.

Do they make one that is "stump resistant"?

Mike Cork · « **Reply #6 on:** January 04, 2005, 06:11:06 PM »

Now that was funny

DundeeMike · « **Reply #7 on:** January 04, 2005, 06:38:15 PM »

I am making this simple--21XD Bullet, with a 275 Verado[300hp kinda scares me]......

Mike Noble · « **Reply #8 on:** January 04, 2005, 07:12:28 PM »

Will a bullet float a Verado?

Mike Cork · « **Reply #9 on:** January 04, 2005, 07:24:10 PM »

Very interesting question Mike. I know serveral boats can't and I would be interested in knowing if a bullet can. Blazer is a simular sized and shaped boat and it can not.

Jared LeBlue · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2005, 07:39:59 PM »

Ok, I'm with Mike C on this one. If money was not an issue, It would be a 21' Gambler. Now with reality setting in, I would go with a Stratos.

DundeeMike · « **Reply #11 on:** January 05, 2005, 07:35:23 AM »

In my dreams it floats, and is fast as "woops". I know I would never have one, unless I hit the Lotto. But I can dream...ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

bassadict69 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 05, 2005, 07:42:11 AM »

I would definately trade up for a larger boat. My 17' ProGator has been too small for awhile now. Must have shrunk up like most of my clothes!

Next boat would definately be a Nitro...929 w/ 275 Verado.

Rickoos · « **Reply #13 on:** January 05, 2005, 07:44:48 AM »

I don't see why the Bullet wouldn't float with the 275 Verado, I have a friend back home who runs a 21 Bullet with the old Johnson 300 hp, not sure if it was a v-8 or not. I do know that it's bigger than the front clip & engine area of my truck..... He always told me that it didn't have to float because it was always flying.....
Trust me, I ride with him was all you needed!!!!!!!!!

Wow good question here and a tough one to answer so many nice boats out there. If I had to get rid rid of my Triton I'd either get another Triton 20X Series with a 225 E Tec HO or a 196 Champion with a 225 Etec HO.

Left Turn,

Even if you got offered $100,000 for it, you would disappoint each of us if you sold it. I hope one day you do get into a newer model but I would hope you always have the Sea Sprite around for keep sake

hooked · « **Reply #17 on:** January 05, 2005, 09:17:20 PM »

Well if'in you guys do get a NEW boat (yes, I hope you win the lottery!) you can just pass your hand me down to this poor novice angler who, unless invited by a boater, does a lot of fun bank fishing!

Mike Cork · « **Reply #18 on:** January 05, 2005, 09:18:08 PM »

Shame you weren't closer to here I would gladly take ya

dave the dope man · « **Reply #19 on:** January 06, 2005, 05:48:28 PM »

Gotta modify that one. I am going to have to remove the Legend and replace it with the 216 King Cobra....Man now you want to talk about sweet!!!!

Check it out at Venomboats.com....Laurie I am not going to add the link....Okay??.....Dave

I cant say enough about a cobra, One thing I can say is they are like the timex they take a lickin and keep on tickin, I am living proof

Mike Noble · « **Reply #23 on:** January 06, 2005, 07:35:16 PM »

Would that be the definition of "understatement".

dave the dope man · « **Reply #24 on:** January 06, 2005, 07:38:48 PM »

Sure it would Mike.....

but I can't help it......
