I've fished out of multiple late 90's model rangers that my cousin owned and I would say they were beyond their years at that time. Incredible ride and theywpuld plane out as fast as you could snap your fingers. The resale is strong on those too.

Gamblers looked faster than they really were...I believe about 2100 lbs for just the hull. Way too heavy to compete in the Allison, Bullet, Stroker, etc world of truly fast bass boats.

The best riding boat I've ever been in was a late 90's model 19' something inch, Ranger. I don't remember the exact model number. I fished with a guy on Neely Henry a few years ago and it was white capping. That boat rode as good on that rough water as my Silverado rides on a good paved road.

I have an '85 or '86 Venture Regatta 18' that I don't know much about. I have read that when it came out it may have been the fastest hull on the water for 150hp rated boats. I do know that it has wood in it and it's heavy.


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.

Bullet. I've owned 7 of them from mid 90's models to recent.. Bought a ranger earlier this year, and while it is a nice boat, I'm trying to work out a trade on a used bullet right now. If the trade doesn't work out, its about to be listed for sale and I'm ordering a new Bullet SDC.

i wouldn't buy any boat that its manufacturer wasn't still in business. I know that rules out some great boats. The more reputable boat companies stand behind products, even after warranty runs out. I'd look at a Statos if I wanted a glass boat. Express if aluminum.
