    Congratulations!
    Quality and fit and finish should be first priority. I feel this sets Gambler ahead of many other boats.
    Gambler as a custom built boat needs to stay as a custom built boat. The buyer needs to be able to pick the custom colors they want.

    A dealer network doesn’t fair well with custom built bass boats. A Gambler was never meat to compete with a big network of dealers that sell cookie cutter boats.

    Congratulations on your acquisition!
    One of the guys that works with me has a 2100/250 XB. That is one terrific boat as I have ridden in it several times.
    Where will you manufacture site be located?
    I agree with JAZII, a dealer network doesn't work well with custom built boats. Sell direct and do your own rigging.

    Oh by the way bring back the Gambler/Sterling fishing derby!
    Further conversation on that. I am new to this wonderful Gambler family. But I'm a quick learn.

    We are factory direct to start. And will have select dealers for Gamblers. Sterlings will stay factory direct. Bob has schooled me on custom is quality. Small quantities equal great quality. Been training with Bob and his team to build the EXACT way that Bob has been for years.

    Scotty I wish you the best of luck! Thanks for keeping the Gambler name alive and well! It sure won't take much to improve what "has been" for the last 8-10 years but it is going to be a long road ahead.

    so was the "QUOTE for a NEW STERLING BUILD" a ploy to get someone to CHIME in on who purchased Gambler?

    Great news. I think the lime green is a passing fad. Accurate and interactive websites are a must nowadays. Responsiveness to customers (sorely lacking in the past) will pay huge dividends. If you can use the BassCat business model of flooding the customer base with promotional staff members (I used to be one), they will do most of the advertising for you. Best of luck and thanks for keeping the "G" alive.

    I'm just stoked to be able to get a hat and shirt that doesn't look like 1987. Also a baby blue and black 2100 would be a suitable replacement for my red and black one I have now.....some day.

    Because Gambler is known for its SEXY lines and flow I believe a white hull all around with polyflake accents of red,silver , black and gunmetal grey.Elegant yet makes a statement.
