Lots of posts on that model. Do a search with the title "188" and you should find quite a bit of talk about it. Great boat!
same boat as the 188 Elite but its a CX Series now....same boat and hull but diffrent options very good rig and an awsome value too
My wife and I very much like our's. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
The 188 is a terrific model! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif
Great boat. There have been alot of post on this model. You will not be dissappointed. I love mine. just repowered it this winter with a Evinrude 200 HO. I am in love all over again. Just go take a ride if you havent done so.
take care
I would be more than happy to give him a ride in mine.
May be looking to get a rid of a 198 225 Pro XS combo. 2005. If you are looking for an alternative to the 188. The 187 Elite was a awsome boat with a 175 Opti... Go with the tandem axel trailer.
With $4/gal gallon here (or almost here) I think the 18 and 19 footers are going to be very popular. I have always been impressed with the 188.
So true. I dont want to start a brand match but I fish last weekend against a 250hpdi Z21 and ran basically the same distance (I know the guy very well). He burn 29.7 gal. I burnt 19.3.
They don't build 'em much better than a 198 with a Pro XS http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
I love my 188.thought I was making a mistake by going to a smaller boat but turns out it fishes way bigger than it is.you cant go wrong with any Champ but 188 is my all around choice http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
