    Pultrusion transom. I had a 1991 390 and it was a great boat. It won't ride as well as a newer design, but fishes super. That 200 should get it to about 65 mph.

    I had a 1994 392 for 3 years. Good boat, but I felt the second console took up too much room.in the cockpit area. It was just too "too tight" for me and I am a small guy. Also, I had a single axle trailer and thought the boat needed a tandem trailer.

    I owned a 1992 392 that was a fishing machine. Loved that boat and it did everything well. I had it for 10 years then sold it to a young man who fished it on the BASS college tour. He just repowered it with a new merc ProXS and will get another 20 years out of it. I love my 521 but that 392 was one stable platform that could go anywhere. I recommend upgrading the seats to the BassBoatSeats.com ones, your back will thank you.

    I had a 1995 392 with a Merc 200. I loved that boat and to this day regret selling it. I only let it go because I thought it needed a dual axle trailer as mine was a single axle. My recollection was the boat was like an aircraft carrier. The deck was huge for a 1990’s boat and the most sable platform when fishing. Three anglers could move all over the boat and it would never rock.
