Zook...I'm not talking about the design, just the material. I just wish they would make more formed hulls out of aluminum, so they'd be lighter and tougher than glass (I know it's more expensive). My boat's biggest flaw is that it's not 21' long like that awesome Phoenix.

bassboogieman · 04-27-10, 06:31 PM

Zook, I'm not suggesting what YOU should buy, I said "buy what fits your needs". And if 18' is what it is then that's it. I said I would not sink 34K in to an 18' boat - way too many better ways for ME to spend that kind of money. I bought one new Triton (TR-186
DC w/150 XR-6 for under 20K out-the-door), and I won't buy new again. Boat prices are so far out of whack that I'll let someone else take that initial depreciaton of the first year or two, and find a nice slightly used boat with motor warranty, there are a LOT of them out there, color chioce isn't worth 10K for me, as it sure don't help the boat run. It's your money, and I would not presume to suggest how you'd spend it, sorry if you took it that way.

price be damned...
i'd sooner drown than own a triton boat period..

i put 250+ hours on a boat per year.so NEW is the only way to fly..

The first picture looks good. I think the trailer goes with the color pattern better here.

Also have you looked at the BeeLine series??? Those are some fast fast boats.

the boat i was in was a 618 pro. however yes i do know the color chart playpen shows a picture of a 21 foot boat..

i have looked at beeline. but the storage on the bird boat is TWICE as much

the reason i am going with the 18 footer is my storage and towing opions.i could not get a 21 footer in my garge-there is this massive oak tree in the way-and i'll tow it with a ford ranger with a 3.0l v-6..the truck will be paid for -allowing me to buy the boat-

I got a tin bass boat , it works great for me. But thats all I can afford right now.

Vegasspider · 04-28-10, 12:31 AM

When in doubt paint it yellow… I agree with all your reasons for making this your boat. Number one, it’s what you want and you thought it through making sure it fits what you have in garage and towing. The storage is off the hook and the price with a 175 and everything new – I don’t know how you can beat that package? Congrats.

I guess thats where you have to put storage over speed.

In the 80's if you get the stage 3 kit put on the vmax. Only a 1k upgrade I think, and well worth it considering what the price would be on a bigger motor.

Is yama planning to expand the sho's to smaller than a 200? As far as I know they don't make a 175 sho yet. It would be good if they do.

when ya coming to bugs? so i can teach ya to throw a buzzbait...

Vegasspider · 04-30-10, 10:38 AM

Did you pull the trigger on buying it yet? Like to see what you think about the boat after acutally buying it. I have been thinking about that price. Also like to know what it's like doing business with the actual company. Anymore that's as important as the product. I know it seems obvous but some of these boat companies "Ranger" are a big pain after the fact. Promise the world and all I need it a title since November! My son had his Nitro title in 8 days.

zooker · 04-30-10, 02:23 PM

no vega i have a truck to payoff first..if i don't get buried in a snowpile of medical bills..

oh yeah the infamus ranger glass hatch covers.they don't tell ya bout that at the dealership..

If I HAD to chose one of those options, I'd take the last with the yellow trailer. I think you are on to something with those colors, but I have to change that blue to black.
