Best hulls/motors of the 1990s?

[nebass97]

Hey everyone! 

 

I'm in the market for my first glass boat. Moving away from the trusty basstracker and onto a big boy boat. My tow vehicle is only a v6 so I'm sticking with the 18' boats and possibly 19' if they're lighter boats (max towing is 4210lbs). I'm wondering what the best hulls and motors of the 1990s/early 2000s? Here's what I've been focusing on: 

Hulls

- Champion 181/183/186 

- Stratos 275/285 

- Ranger Comanche 300 series 

- Skeeter 175 (very difficult to find) 

- Triton 186 (I like that they have all composite transoms)

Motors

- Yamaha Pro V 150 

- Mercury EFI 150

- Johnson Fastrike 150 

- Evinrude Intruder 150 

 

Is that a good list?? Any I should avoid or add to it?? Looking for a good combo of speed and fishability. Hoping to touch 60mph. Thanks!

None of those stand out as anything I've ever heard anything negative about.  Ranger hulls have basically always been good, champion is sought after, still see a ton of older stratos boats and ive owned 3 and was satisfied with all. Triton makes a fine boat as well and I'm sure that skeeter is as well. Know nothing about Yamaha and locally its hard to find someone to work on them. The other 3 motors were great. Good luck!
