Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 26, 2015 Global Moderator Posted January 26, 2015 I'm a boat owner again! Man it was a rough season with nothing but a johnboat but I finally found the right one. Had to drive almost to Wisconsin to get it but it was worth the drive for the deal I got on it. 2012 189 Stratos VLO with a 150 Mercury Optimax Pro XS, 80lb Maxxum, dual side imaging/down imaging/mapping Garmins are in route for it. The previous owners used it less than 6 times, I put more miles on the trailer hauling it home than it had on it. More than a little pumped up about it. 13 Quote

I know getting back into a boat has to put you close to being on top of the world, eh? 1 Quote

Smokinal Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 ^^Wow! I always thought I wanted a Ranger but I really like the layout and features of that Stratos. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 27, 2015 Global Moderator Posted January 27, 2015 Hey Blue ~ Check this out . A-Jay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2xFNL6Bi1c I watched all the videos I could find on several boats during my search. The VLO really impressed me with all of it's standard features and the layout of the boat, and it's even better in person 2 Quote
Destined_to_succeed Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Hey guys, I'm new to bass resource and hope to familiarize myself with everyone. I posted my introduction in the intro forum and was told by a guy to post my boat in here. It's a 2004 Gambler 2200 DC with a 2004 250 HP Mercury outboard. Brand new Minn Kota maxxum 80lb thrust trolling motor. My main fish finder is a Lowrance Elite series 7 chirp. Looking to sell it in the near future though and not too sure about what else I would enjoy the same way. 2 Quote

Destined_to_succeed Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks! What type of rig do you have? I tried enlarging it a bit but was having some trouble Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted January 28, 2015 Super User Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks! What type of rig do you have? I tried enlarging it a bit but was having some troubleAs of now, I have a great big nothing. I'm looking at Kayaks for this upcoming year... I hope to be able to get myself a boat in the near future. Right now though, just admiring... Lol Quote
Lewi Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 My new ride for the 2015 season. 2014 Legend Alpha 211R, 250 Pro XS, 101 Minn Kota Fortrex. RIDE WITH A LEGEND....ONE AGENDA! Was checking this out at the boat show last weekend and I have to say you could have a decent size party on the front deck of that boat! Seems that color options are endless too. Nice ride! 2 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted January 31, 2015 Super User Posted January 31, 2015 Was checking this out at the boat show last weekend and I have to say you could have a decent size party on the front deck of that boat! Seems that color options are endless too. Nice ride! Legend sponsors the club I fish and gives away 3 boats at our TOC. They do make a nice boat and have a pretty good attention to detail. What I like is that they are a semi custom manufacturer and the boat can be factory ordered rigged just the way you like it. You're not stuck to one brand of graphs or trolling motors or anchors or whatnot. I've never been in one. Our local rep was giving test rides at the last TOC I attended and I watched. The hull handles well. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 My new ride. I've been boatless for a year. My wife wanted a pontoon boat , something that she could enjoy. After much searching , I found this 22 foot Lowe semi v deck boat . Put an 80 lb thrust elec. motor on it and a couple of new depthfinders and we are both tickled. Only got to fish out of it once this fall. It was a very windy day and the boat fished much better than I thought it would. Never mind the messy garage. I had to move things out of the way to get the boat to fit. and my other two rides 3 Quote
