Best New Bass Boat For The Money?

[jay bird]

So thinking about getting a new bass boat close to 20 ft and 200 hp plus just wondering what everyone thought was the best bang for the buck.

Thanks Jason

I've been impressed with the Phoenix boats that I have seen. But I'm still a Bass Cat fan.

First choice: Legend

Second choice: Legend

There is no third choice ;-)

I got a box of popcorn bags we can nuke, and can run down to the gas station and get a cold one. Anyone want to join me as the loyalists brag about their boats?

whatever happened to champion boats, what was the cause for the demise of the boat??

Best bang for the buck is a 18'8" boat. Not a 20 footer with a 225.

All right people. Let's hear it. Skeeter? Triton? Ranger? Tracker? You need to step up! Then one of us tin boat types can throw in a snide remark.

All of te big name boats are good in my opinion. It basically comes down to personal preference and what you want to spend. That being said inwould have to say a nitro z-9 or z-8

I think if your boat is what you like its the best boat. We allhave our preferences. I f on the other hand you want to impress your friends and spend 35-40 K thats OK to. Trouble is someone else is going to get one nicer and then you will not be happy with yours.

96 CHAMP I think what happened is one of the major designers or something for Champion split off and established Phoenix. the first models looked just like Champions.

I guess I was wondering the difference in quality and longevity if I was going to spend the money. Like nitro vs ranger for example. This would be a boat I have for at least the next 10 years.
