    I got my 2018 625 from an flw tour pro, had it about 4 months and yes the fit and finish is top notch like the other hand laid hulls(allison, bullet, stroker) From what i can tell blazer stands behind their products also. Im super stoked with mine

    Are you sure about the hand laid hull on a Blazer? When I visited their factory ( a long time ago ) the chopped fiberglass and resin was being sprayed with a chopper gun.

    I have asked several times on this forum if Blazers are still built with a chopper gun but have never received an answer. They are great looking boats but I would like a definitive answer not just an opinion.

    Great boat - better than the Rangers I had. Quality- no issues. Nor have I heard of anyone else either.

    The hulls are hand laid and the rest of the boat are not. Allison and Bullet at least to my knowledge are the only 100% hand laid bass boats being made.

    Thank you for the information. I knew first hand that the early 190 and 202 models were not hand laid but it is good to hear the current models have hand laid hulls.

    Hand laid hulls started about in 2002/2003.

    As far as quality, I think they are as good as any of the mass produced boats with Bass Cat being the best IMO.

    I’m a new blazer owner and I just came out of a Gambler. I’ve also had a nitro, stratos and skeeter preciously and been in and around bass boats for 20 years or so. I would say my 2019 625 is built just as well as any other boat out there and better than the cookie cutter type boats. I wouldn’t question the blazer quality!
