    Question Fiberglass boats sizes?

    Wondering what the plans are for model lengths that will be offered in the fiberglass boats. Will there be any smaller (16', 17', 18') boats available? If so, will they be rated for bigger motors (say 115 for 16', 150-175 for 18')? Not a lot of manufacturers make smaller boats anymore, could be a way to gain some buyers and maybe keep prices more affordable.

    With our aggressive model introduction plans, I am sure we will have a model in one of those lengths.
    i wish I could be more precise,

    My very first bass boat purchased new was a ChampioN 171DC with a Merc 135-V6. Total boat length was 17'-6''. The only additional options I order with the boat were a 6" jackplate, and an additional 20 gallon fuel tank under the seats. Boat came standard with a 24 gallon tank. This boat ran 62mph unloaded and 58-59mph tournament loaded.

    I really pissed off a lot of ChampioN owners running the 181DC with a Merc 150-V6. Reason being, there top speed was 62-64mph unloaded, yet they paid an additional 10k for their boat.

    I would have passed on the 171 if it were not for having the option of an additional under seat fuel tank. With 44 gallons of fuel and a 135 Merc, I could make longer distance runs than a guy with a 20' boat and a 250hp outboard.

    Power to weight ratio for the win

    The 150hp four is got to be the real deal hull for strong sales year after year...if it does 60mph and has an 80# troll...the rest is gravy...
