Sportsman, pro series and blades

[basspro78]

What’s the difference between the 3? Would I be disappointed if I went with a sportsman instead of the blades?

My opinion is yes as I was going to purchase the Sportsmen until K& K Kustoms messaged me then he went over all the and I went with the Blades. I am sure he will chime in and he provides great service and advice.

I'll tell my story. My new boat, was supposed to have Blades, but when I showed for pickup it had the PIIs. I had a quick turnaround so I took the boat. To this day I swear all I see on that boat are those PIIs and I don't like the look of them. The Blades look much better, but they also work better is what I've been told, faster, quieter, etc. So, yes, I bet you'd be disappointed. The newer PIIs are made to look like the Blades, but don't work as well as the Blades.

during the 2.0 redesign power poles intention was not to make them look like blades, when they went to 2.0 they drilled the rails to reduce weight on them and make them now the lightest pole in the series. It still has an exposed spike, doesnt have the new redesigned stern bracket, etc therefore IMO looks nothing like the blade series. Do they look better w the holes in the rails , for sure yes. There are a ton of great features that makes a blade a blade hence the price difference.
Kinder. Why didnt you make them swap them out, my guess is they couldnt get blades at the time so tried to push it out with what they had?

Anyone wanting to know the differences in models id be happy to explain it in a phone call 607 467 5700. It would be way to much to type here..

I was driving to KY to pickup and then back to PA. I didn't want to wait - one of many misjudgements I've made. Guess that's why I was in "KY." haha
