    New Gambler owner: How to determine what exact model I have?

    Title lists boat as a 1996 - 20 foot - no model # provided. I have a 225 Mercury on back. Dual console.
    S0EUS49HJ596 -Hull id#.

    Thinking it might be a Tournament Edition ?

    Any ideas?

    I would guess its an intimidator with the 225...If you can find the rating plate it would give it away also...No decals on the sides?????

    Horsepower max is 235 on plate -under console! Gambler decal on each side that's it. 1996 Gambler Bass Boats 209 TE Dual Console is my guess? Decent model? Mine looks New ,,,a barn find up by Canada.

    With a 235 rating, must be a 209.

    What's the overall consensus on these late to mid 1990's model 209TE boats ? Mine appears to of been very well-made and very well-maintained as it still looks show room New!

    I have been around bass boats & fishing tournaments since 1971. Gambler is one of the best built boats on the market, the styling is second to none! That's why I bought one 15 years ago, oh, and I never have needed company help..
