ultimate bass tournament boat

[the_matrix]

I'm not so sure......I know not a lot about USA But recently was talking to a fella from the US and he hadn't even heard of them....skeeters that is, and he was right into Bass fishing, he might have been a LLLLLLoser though!!!
I don't want to cop crap BTW I'm just saying what I came across.....as I said there isn't much not to know about USA that I don't know.....I think.

Sean, yeh thats pretty surprising.
However, I once met a yank that thought the Statue of Liberty was only built for the CIA to spy on the American public.
And another notorious one who..................well lets just say WMD.

Looking at the American Bass scene, one which I do follow a bit, the rigs used are Rangers, Skeets, Stratos, and a few others.
If you look at the results of the ESPN Outdoors Bassmasters 06, you will find that 8 out of the top ten boats are from the big three.
Theres surely other boats, but not quite sure that they are better considering that everything in those comps is cutting edge.

A ten ft flat bottom aluminium tinnie, 12 ft is just showing off. Lot's of messy silicone repairs inside to stop a lot of the water coming in.
It probably should have a motor on the back, something punchy, like a 6hp.
The live well could be substituted for an hessian sack hung off the back.
Wouldn't need a radio as I can yell pretty loud. It would need an older style foam esky as they are better to hang onto in the water in case something bad happens.
Oh yeah, and a cushion to sit on. That alumunium gets bloody hot.
Lot's and lot's of stickers as they cover small holes.

That's about all I can think of..

i still cant uinderstand the need for a motor over 100hp for dam fishing unless your skiing.

as for a perfect nass boat i dont think there is one.

i catch just as many fish as the "pro's" in there skeeters etc.

my boat is a humble 4M blue fin with a 30hp outboard and a elec bow mount,some false floors and plenty of room to fish a few.

makes spending big money on those boats pointless cosidering i can also take my little boat in the bay with a fairly decent swell and chop wear those boats cant???

i can understand people buying these tornament boats.sure they look nice,go fast.btu i cant honestly justify buying one.300hp at wide open throttle with the cost of fuel these days...the fuel bill must be horrific

I think they have te 100hp's so they can cover ground quicker so they don't waste good fishing time but that only really applies for tournament fishing but fishing leisurely doesntneed more than a 30hp plus

Let me guess... he thought it was some sort of Firearm?

I reckon my 385 Dart is the ultimate Bass vessel. Got it the way I like it. Plan to fish a few ABT Bass events in a few years for sure... maybe even load her up with Minn Kota's and do a Bass Electric or 2. Plenty of stickers to keep the water out... no half arse silicon jobs

Will have a Skeeter in my shed one day... fitted with a Rockford Fosgate PUNCH audio system to let the trollers know Im coming

I would have purchased a Tracker Boat. But they are not to big in Australia yet. I opted for a locally built 4.6m with a 70hp. Not as quick as the big boys but not a leisure boat. I think I got the mix right for Bay work and Tournament style boat.
