I hope he didn’t sign a non compete with Johnny Morris 😂

I doubt it will be a Nitro, Tracker, Ranger, Triton, or Stratos.  Maybe a MOFISH!

Well Stratos is all done closing shop end of this year and also heard Johnny bought legend boats here recently, https://www.bassmaster.com/gear/white-river-marine-group-buy-legend-boats

I can tell ya this......If they come factory rigged with black motors on them, then it's nothing more than a cash grab, squeezing the last bit of worth from the Forrest L Wood name and reputation.   

If it's anything other than just another boat then it has to have an Evinrude motor on it.   

Not dogging Mercs, but from a genuine consumer care standpoint they can not put a Mercury on it.   Bet they do though.

Both Daffron and Hughes, along with Randy Hopper, resigned from their executive positions at Ranger in November 2015, less than a year after Bass Pro Shops acquired Ranger, Triton and Stratos from Fishing Holdings, LLC.

Yeah that's funny, they must have some really old people working there. 

They'll probably claim Washington crossed the Delaware in one of their boats.

My guess is they call it a Stetson.  Just a guess.
