    Looking for newer G-boat

    I need some help on picking out a new to me boat. I just sold my 1994 Gambler 19'3" Intimidator and looking for a newer boat with a 250hp engine in the 20ft length because I fish rough tidal water (Potomac River). I have narrowed my choices to either a Gambler 2100 (20'6") 2001-2007 or a Basscat Puma/Cougar FTD (20'4")2008-2011. Can you guys help identify some pros and cons with each, both are quality boats.

    Gambler- great rough water ride, a little faster, huge front deck, sits lower (possible water over bow fishing rough water and harder to flip under docks)

    Basscat- great rough water ride, has better customer service, warranty is only for defects, 2008 consoles look old fashion, front deck is not as big to fish

    Those would be my choice as well. If I get out of my Gambler I would go with a BC. Because of the water over the bow issue if I was likely going to be in a rough water fishing situation I'd go with a BC. I HATE my feet being wet.

    I agree, wet feet sucks. Been there done that.
