    Question The origins of the Gambler Bass Boat

    Does anyone have a place I could find information on or have information on the background and the history of Gambler boats?

    I'm just curious. The search in me is not strong today, I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.


    Thanks in advance

    I have no hard evidence or definitive knowledge on this matter, but my best guess would be that the Gambler hull originated as a modified Hydrostream hull. Obviously, it has and is still being tweaked with each new design. Just my best guess, since nobody else offered any opinions. As stated earlier, this is merely my own assumption/guess.

    That's a negative on the Hydrostream. Actually the molds used in the beginning were from Bass Natique. Yes, Correct Craft used to build bass boats in the Orlando area. At one time there was a very informative bolg on BBC that gave Gamblers entire history with Bob Ackerbloom and Lenny Jones. Maybe someone can repost that blog.

    And Im still not sure what it matters if someone doesnt like customer service rendered by somebody they still cant like a product. I love my G but its not in warranty so I couldnt use their customer service for that anyways. But seeing as how they are a sponsor, you would think they would browse the board once a week or so and answer questions to what people post or maybe interact with the customers JMO but who am I?

    LSC is dead on with this one...the original post on the history was forever deleted, however i will see if i can get a copy from them and get it posted up...until then, let us see if we can at least measure up to the boys on the stroker page, and not bash a company that may have built the best bass boat EVER........

    i hoped to learn more about Gamblers history than their customer service in this thread, but what've works I guess

    I think one of he big reasons a large sponsor like Gambler wouldn't be cruising this little forum Is that there is much more traffic on

    places like Twitter/Facebook/instagram.
