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?

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!!

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. :-)

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.

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. NRA Life Member
