    Was that an aluminum gas tank in that Bullet? If so that should cure some of the gas fumes that seem to seep through the plastic tanks.

    I am still surprised that people get upset because someone does not praise their chosen brand. Just seems silly to get upset over that enough to call people names and lob insults.
    Me too. I just don't care if you think Y is better then X. In someone's case that maybe true. Honestly they are all good boats and anyone would be proud to fish out of any brand. Its just what matters to you, and that is all that matters.

    I'm 60 and wouldn't have a problem fishing out of that boat, just saying I think too much is made about the width at the front of boats, not nocking anybody or any brand, too each his own like Ken say's, but that boat is plenty wide to fish from. All boils down to what YOU like and want to buy, I've owned Rangers, Skeeters, Tritons, Hydra Sport and Stratos and spend 90% of my fishing day standing on the trolling motor pedal, maybe less know with spot lock, but I am basically using about 30 inches of the front deck most of the time as is I would bet most other bass fisherman are. Just my opinion, everybody gets one and there free.

    Watch Kens team tourney videos...you will see why a wide front deck is important to him. My team tourney partners always fish from the front deck and I do the same on their rigs. It’s not easy even on big wide deck. We get it done on a 203 Champion...My partner filled in the big narrow death hole on the front of his Champ...I have busted my ass so many times in that hole.

    I like how shallow the Bullets draft, I had a good friend of mine who's on his third Ranger fish a tournament with me one time where I took him to a spot where it was extremely shallow for a good ways before it got deep again (Potomac). I told him to come up front to get the weight off the back and as we were trolling along over the shallow area he said "I can't believe we're not dragging ass right now, there's no way in hell my boat would make it through here".

    I've been trying to follow these videos. I guess I just haven't seen it. I've seen some false accusations of upsettedness though.

    He got a rush out of 76 mph. He needs a lot more seat team before he does a video on a Bullet boat. He has no idea what WOT is like. Trust me there is nothing like it. I would love to take him for a ride in my boat. If he liked the the feel of the big Bullet, he would need a chill pill for a ride in a 20 XRD.

    He said you have to remove the gas tank just to change a bilge pump? I don't think I'd like that much. Other than that I could fish out of that and enjoy the performance that comes with it.

    I'd agree, they have come along way. I think they still carry a lot of bad rep from from the older boats that definitely had issues and shortcomings, and then with Johnny buying up the world in bass fishing people just won't let it go.

    Rough water ride is EXCELLENT!! I've been in some pretty bad stuff on St Clair and other big waters, handles it extremely well, I've owned a Bullet for 19 years now and won't own anything else!!

    He does need a little more seat time....ha ha ha.

    As far as pulling the tank, it’s actually pretty easy to do. In these boats you can actually pull the tank and get to these pumps easier then you can moving batteries and oil tanks in other boats.
