Super User South FLA Posted April 16, 2009 Super User Posted April 16, 2009 After a recent poll came up asking forum members to post about their rides, I came up with a pretty long list of bass boats. The bold text are what "I ASSume" are the most popular. After reading this please post the make, model, year, and outboard power (make model year) you own. I think it would be great to ask owners about similar setups and compare notes. Here is my list: Allison Bass Cat Big O Bullet Blazer Charger Champion G3 Gambler Hydra Sports Javelin Legend Lund Nitro Phoenix Polar Kraft Pro Craft Ranger Sprint Swift Storm Skeeter Stratos Triton Tracker Viper Cobra Xpress I own a: 2003 Ranger 185VS (Intracoastal Edition, Single Console) Minn Kota Maxxum 80 24V Trolling Motor Powered by a 150HP 2003 Yamaha VMax Series (Carbed), with a Powertech TRO4 prop, I run with a 25" pitch prop as my main but have a 24" as my spare.
