im going to be looking for a blazer 202 pro v in the next yesr and was wondering if anyone had any experience with one? i started out looking at bullets but i can get a lot more boat and similar speed out of a blazer it seems

How fast you wanting to go? Blazers are good boats imo.. always been one of my favorite looking boats

id like to be close to 80 with a 250 mercury or yamaha. got some people i need to beat to the dam

Had one. I didn’t like it. It was fast but rode like crap didn’t take rough water well at all. Before you go full tilt you had better know how to handle chime walk. Mine was a 190- pro v had some friends with 202 they hated them as well. If something is needed from blazer hang it up. There customer service sucks.

Find you an older Stratos ASX, if you can!

Hmmm, found this on the ASX. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M82DOgIidkk That's supposed to be an ASX at 1:07. Reminds me of the good old days, around 1990 or so. We built a super light Hurst Equalizer and hung a carbureted Merc 200 on it. I got 93 out of it on radar. The run was at Lay Lake with Gene Cleckler on the radar gun. Good times.

I've owned numerous blazer bay boats, never any bass boats, and currently have a Blazer Bay 2200. I have about 5 different friends that have them as well. Everyone loves them. They are built in Pensacola and as long as you get your boat to him, Keith the owner has always gone out of his way to take care of us. I would guess they probably build 10 bay models to every 1 bass model. Their boats are built to be on the affordable end and to be fished hard. I have never understood why the go-fast center console bay boat models have not taken off in the bass fishing world, to me they are just an all around better boat for fishing out of.

if i was looking for a smooth riding easy to drive boat id have bought a ranger

That's what I was gonna say. Ain't nothing wrong with Blazers...they do just fine for what you pay for one. If you were looking to spend $40,000 you wouldn't be asking about a Blazer. The first friend I fished tournaments with back in the 90's had a Blazer (I don't remember which model), I don't remember anything bad about it.

I rode in one with a 200 on it back in the day. Seemed pretty nice to me. Fast.

Nothing wrong with a Blazer.

They will run. But, part of that is because they flat out splashed the bottom of a Bullet.

I owned one for about 2 months. mid 90s model with a 200 mariner. That sucker would scream but you had to drive it for sure.

That is true and most good designs are later splashed by other manufacturers. Alan Stinson's work is a good example.

$40,000 blazers new are $60,000+ for their high end model

That yellow Stroker in the vid I THINK is the one on Neely now.

I like mine.

which one do you have?

I have had 2 202s. One had a 300 Yamaha and one had a 300 Mercury. The one with the Mercury would run in the 90s depending on prop. All the way up to mid 80s, it was one of the best handling fast boats I've been in. The one with the Yamaha, never saw over 78. I think something was wrong with the pad. I've drove a lot of boats, and I could not drive that one. It was horrible. A mexican, legit with a Mexico driver's license bought it from for crappie fishing.

I have a 2005 pro 180 with a Yamaha proV 150

Smaller boat but it suits me.

He wanted to be the first juan to get to the bridge at Town creek so he could tie up where he wanted to, instead of having to fish the last spot left that no juan wanted..
