    625 Pro Elite?

    Okay guys some of you may know me but lots probably don't. I used to have a 2000 202DC and loved it. Thought it fished great, took water okay and had mine setup to run really really good. Since then I've owned a XB2003 and now XB2002 Allisons. My speed bug isn't what it used to be and I'm actually looking to fish more plus my son is big into it and on the school team. I'm looking at the 625 and 21sdc bullet. I really like the layout of the front deck on the 625 and looks. Guess my question is(and want the truth, not fluff) how well does the 625 take rough water, fish, livewell system, speed, and fit and finish. My Blazer was nice but the deck was a little wavy. I know blazer has stepped their game but is quality truly up there?

    Chad, the 625 will be as fast hp to hp as your 202 was with better hole shot and it will fish like a Skeeter. Keith and I ran the first test boat through Escambia Bay in pretty rough water and I put mine and others through a lot of rough water. Put an SHO on it, get that bad boy flashed and you will have an upper 80s boat.

    How's the livewell system? Would a 82lb motorguide be enough?

    Its good. The 625 comes standard with a 36volt troller and I wouldn't want an 82 on it myself. The boat carries a load a lot better than the 202/210 did so the extra battery doesn't seem to hurt performance too much. I ran 3 of the small Optima's for the troller in mine to save a little weight.

    I just prefer the motorguide foot and want a stroller without the delay.
