    Opinions on the 595?

    Storage. Stability. Ride. Top speed with a 225?

    Watching. Looking between 595, 625 and the phoenix 919... there are a number of people claiming mid to upper 70s with the 595 and a 225 however

    I had a 17 595 225 ProXS with a 26 B&B Fury it had an instant hole shot and ran 73 -75 hard loaded with two 200plus pound rednecks and wells full.77-79 one person. It had enough storage for me.It fishes very good with the troll motor down also.These boats should be 8k or so less expensive than the Phoenix .Good luck with your search. I think the ride is great for a 19 ft boat.

    I have a 18 595 with a 225. I have seen 73 one person spring water temps. Normal with 2 people 68-70. Instant hole shot and handles excellent. I have never felt like i needed a 20' plus boat for the waters that I fish. A buddy had a 919 Phoenix at the same time and honestly we could not tell a difference between the two. The 595 has a better hole shot and turns into corners better than a 919 IMO only. The Blazer used to be a cheaper alternative, but I do not think that is the case anymore.

    Does anyone know if the 595 has moved to the new dash/console style that the 625 has gone to? Looking like the 650? Why's it so hard to find info on these dang things

    The new 650's are right around 84k without taxes. Also a bit on the turning, the hulls on these Blazers is insane! Rather than having a standard bass boat hull where the hull comes up from the V... Blazer hulls come down and back up on each side of the V toward the edges of the boat. This gives it the ability to turn on a dime without tilting much at all. Very impressive hulls for sure. They are a premium boat for sure.

    Any pictures of hull anywhere? I'm looking hard at one online. It's hard to judge size of boat from pictures. The boat is 4 hrs away from me. I fish mostly lakes In north east PA. I make a few trips a year to bigger water. Lake Ontario region maybe i trip to Lake Erie. When at these places longer run are possible. I mean I'm doing now with a 19' aluminum Vexus!!!

    Someone with a 595... could you do a walk-around video and overview of some of the factory features? Ken smith's 650 video is about the most in-depth overview of a blazer I've seen!

    Anglers Port in Warsaw, Mo. did some a couple years ago on Truman Lake with Blazer's. I swear he did one where it showed him running 78mph with a Mercury. You might search You Tube or their website.

    I've seen that, what I'd like to see is a complete walk through of the boat, all the hatches, standard equipment... junk like that
