The one I'm looking at is a 18.6 foot with a 175 on it and its $26500 that's not to bad if ya ask me hopefully it will be in my driveway by April

well thats a good price, I mean new, ahhhhh screw it whatever gets you on the water and to the fish I'm dropping it YES bass boats are cool andYEs I WANT ONE!!!!

[Bandwagon]

but why do you need so much horsepower?

You really don't but glass bass boats are high perfomance boats designed for the tournament angler. In any given tournament you may have multiple spots which is important to get to as quick as possible, also the ability to make long runs away from the crowds. When there is ten's of thousands of dollars as stake everyone is looking for an edge. Plus who does not like going over 70mph

but why do you need so much horsepower?

If the boats rated for why underpower it? IMO always max out HP rating on boat or otherwise you may be dissapointed with the performance.

Here's my rig before the re-finishing.

An 88 Bayliner BassTrophy with a 125 Force. Although the Force is considered crap, I've had great luck with it but am still working on a deal for a newer 150 Merc.

Although not the most desireable being a Bayliner, she's been a great rig for me and slowly coming along with upgrades.

Cheers

Here's my beauty!!

10ft tin tippy with a 3 hp Evinrude Lightwin from the early 60's. Sweet little trolling boat for specs in those hard to get to lakes.

Not so good in rough water (anything over 6" waves haha)

Picked up my Lund 16 Pro Angler... CHEAP!!!
It's got the floor, livewell, trolling motor with a new(er) Yam 30 hp. Moves along just fine (mind you when I've saved up a few more pennies I'll be upgrading to the 40hp 4 Stroke) Perfect for where I go - a few smaller lakes and every so often some big water.

A family friend has a 89 19 foot I/O they bought new and other than regular maintenance and wear parts they have had no problems with it and I really like cruising around in it
