Call me crazy but want to purchase a 90s model bass boat. Probably something between 1995-1999. I really like the BassCats and Champions from that era but I am not set on one specific brand.

What brand, model, and outboard would you suggest I look at?

One that’s not rotted out. They used wood in the transoms back then. I loved my Basshawk with a merc 150 xr2 but the floor and transom got soft.

Sadly, you probably would never find one of these, but, if you did, you would love it. I worked for Marvin Hurst, helped design the boat, and put together every one that was built. There were less than 40 of them made. This pic is one of my personal ones that was made a little lighter than stock. The finished boat still weighed about 900 pounds unrigged. Fully rigged to tournament fish and powered by a stock Mercury XR6 150 swinging a 26 pitch Laser II prop at 6300 rpm, it would radar at 77mph. Those were the days!! [Linked Image]

. Yea this is probably not a good idea but I really like the style of boats from that era. A really nice late model boat looks way cooler to me launching at a bass tournament than a new boat. But all fiberglass and a warranty is also nice. :-)

My favorite boat I ever owned was a 1996 model blazer 202 pro v duel console. That boat would fly. But, it hated rough water.

Do you want to strictly fish or play some too?

If you want the best of both, find a Stroker. Excellent fishing machine that can run tx loaded 85-90 mph. IMO, best hand made boat that has ever been. Finding one, that's is the issue.

I had a 90' stratos 201pro with a good old johnson gt200 with the vro disabled and a new powerhead...it wudnt propped for speed but itd do bout 70mph trimmed up. These were heavier an way better riding than the later models...them chine walkin suckers will nock your teeth out. if i was gonna buy one...id love to have a Gambler, an Aries, or a norris craft..all cool old boats..i really like hydra sports too. Any of those...minus their gas guzzlin carb 2 stoke counterparts..gimme a modern direct injected jap 4 stroke

This is my old 93 Stratos. I wish I could find it again. I don't think I've ever seen a boat with such a deep gel coat. It was 100 percent original.

I actually got rid of it because it was like a classic car. I was afraid to scratch it. I've fished out of a lot newer and fancier boats, but I haven't treated any of them like I did that boat.

Klay, that boat is sportin' the best trolling motor ever made!!


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I thought I was the only person in the country that liked those things. It's light and didn't have any quit in it.
