    and just like that..................

    my gambler is for sale.

    so spent 3 days last weekend fishing tourney out of the Gambler, spent 5-6 hours just driving the boat on friday scouting the lake. man they are fun to drive. took the skeeter out on monday evening and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!! the gambler is great and if all i fished was solo or team stuff(where we could both fish up front) then might could see it. having a 250lb guy stumble around on the back of the Gambler make fishing unpleasant up front.

    maybe a 21 or 22 footer would be more to my liking(Skeeter is a 21'r) but this 1999 2000DC w/ 2006 225 Opti has got to go

    I had a 20’ for a few years and fished out of a 2200 and a sterling a few times it’s a major difference in how much better they ride!

    I had a 94 209, 2006 Intimidator, and now a 2200. I must say the 2200 rides and fishes better than the other 2..

    Gamblers aren't designed to fish from the back deck, I hated drawing the guy in the club that had one. First to the spot but standing on a postage stamp to fish doesn't make for a pleasant day. Front deck fished great.

    10-4. Your story made it sound like you were drawing as a non-boater in your club. Basscat is the only other boat that I'd like to try at some point other than Gambler and Allison.
