quality bass boat brands

[skeeterboud]

back when i bass fished all the time(80's-1998), ranger champion skeeter probably were top 3 boats. looked into bass boats this week, wow, just like bay boats, quite a few more brands(ex caymas/legend, etc)

what are some of the best hulls(good ride,dry, durable) and who has best rigging? texas of course

[HubCityThumper]

Phoenix 921 is solid boat.

[Javelin]

Legend is gone forever. To answer the question though at least IMO some of the top brands out there at least in terms of build quality ( handling, layout and comfort are all subjective) are

Phoenix
Bass cat
Charger
Blazer
Skeeter
Ranger ( not what it once was)

I have an 09 ranger z520 single console for sale if interested. With a evinrude 250 that purrs like a kitten. Asking $26500

[Snowflake Killa]

I have a ranger but if I jumped in a bass boat it probably would be a basscat

buddy of mine has a caymas. He moved to it from a triton. I haven't had a chance to fish with him since he got it but he really likes the caymas.

Bass cat or phoenix if it was me.

Bass cat makes a puma with a champion hull

You will get wet in any brand boat if the conditions are salty. Even with a driver that knows how to drive in salty conditions.

I've had a Champion, Basscat and now a Skeeter. Each brand has it's pro's and con's.

Buy what you like from a reputable Manufacturer that's been around for more than a hot minute.

Not an issue in my 619 or 721 that I have fished from.
