This is interesting. Good boat history/information. It is pretty crazy how small the bass boat industry is.

Tough, both are nice boats.
I think the Falcon is a touch down from Caymas in build quality. However, I also think they are priced this way too. I like some of Falcon's innovation. Caymas is...
Is it Linc Panoray like in Nautique??
They sold 43 to dealers/prostaff** not consumers. When a boat leaves a boat company to head to a dealer it is counted as a sale for that company.
I've seen one, they are trickling slowly into...
I have thought it was coming for years, yet they continue on. It seems that the new 20XP is selling better than the XrT or TRX has in recent memory. The owners I have met are also thrilled with the...
102" is technically the widest a trailer can be for road operation in the U.S. without having to be oversized load.
As Rodney mentioned, most are around 103" with tires, etc. Worst case scenario...
Agreed, need more boat discussion. Not trash talking or pimping one brand. But real discussion on different brands and models.
Your long standing brands with history will always hold up better in the secondary market as opposed to a short term brand for example Legend.
It has nothing to do with the boat itself, (I prefer...
No. The FXR has better components overall, such as all SS latches, thicker carpet, full front deck padding, digital touch panels (regardless of opinion, these cost more), Fiberglass Fenders, etc. ...
Blazer is tough, maybe a fluid one for the tiers as well. It seems like every year that passes they get nicer. I have heard some issues with the new ownership though...
I have rode in a 625 a...
I agree with you as well, I tried to make a "universal" list that most would agree with. IMO I would move Ranger into tier 3, I think it is nicer than the other WRMG brands. I do think Ranger...

Here you go!
In 2024. Based on overall quality, not performance.
Tier 1: BCB, Ikon, Vexus (Fiberglass)
Tier 2: Ranger, Caymas, Phoenix, Skeeter FXR
Tier 3: Blazer
Tier 4: Triton, Nitro, Falcon, Skeeter...

Yes, it was announced on FB awhile back.
RMP is also a recent dealer addition, along with a couple more coming shortly.
Buy the boat that fits what you want and need. It sounds like you already understand the nature of the Lynx. BCB will always resale well. While the re-sale compared to an STS hull is still hard...
Carol is the best!! She always knows exactly what you need and gets it out to you quick.
Truth is kind of the middle, Faulkner and co started Avid. However, many Vexus engineers did leave Vexus and come over. Faulkner family was behind NauticStar. Super great people.
Avid's are...
Before 360 was mounted on the trolling motor - it mounted like a MK Talon off the transom! Rick's design is better, less stuff.
Pretty misinformed, however, it sounded like he heard something about BoatWrX closing, and then translated that into Caymas being no more. That would be my guess. While most builders have had...
There are quite a few (relatively speaking) 150K+ bass boats out there. I know of one in particular :smile:
No - But Yes! Everyone agrees that a new boat is expensive. But threads like this one have been going on in here since the beginning. I saw one from 2004 on the Champion forum saying new boat sales...
Dealer profit varies on a the values of the dealership. Some are more timid, others more aggressive. Some prefer more volume based approach, while some are smaller and can't carry as much volume....
The misunderstanding here is that 150 boats on order means that most likely 90% of the 150 are dealer inventory orders. Along with having 30+ dealers. This just means that dealership principals like...
ReFlex is great in the cockpit floor, dries super quick. It is harder than a typical SeaDek or MarineMat so I believe it cleans up easier, but that is opinion... Not sure on my thoughts for the...
