If i were buying a late 90s boat for structly fishing, id get a ranger no doubt. My uncle almost bought a 30 yr old Ranger a few weeks back. He had owned one when it was new and swore it was the best boat he'd ever fished in. But while he was deciding, someone else got it.

Klay, that boat is sportin' the best trolling motor ever made!! 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. Ive had a few of them old trollin motors, never had an issue..im partial to the old motorguide brutes..i sold one awhile back...i regret that terribly

Gambler is the best looking to me. I keep think about this old gambler I say in a tournament one time.... the driver and co-angler each had motorcycle helmets on before the launch and they look bad add in that boat.

He had owned one when it was new and swore it was the best boat he'd ever fished in. But while he was deciding, someone else got it. 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.

I love gamblers....very underrated in my oppinion...they were..and still are one of if not the fastest hulls ever made..with some of the most beautiful color schemes ever thought up...i really likem

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 had a 96 Stratos that was bulletproof. Man I wish I still had it. Had it for 5 years with zero problems til the pos Johnson 150 powerhead blew. ^^^^^This.

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? Find you a super clean 92 Bumble Bee. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/798868897548129/

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.

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.
