I am on the hunt for a new (used) bass boat. I don't mind 19' but have had a 20' the last few years. I am trying to stay under 25k. What brand model year do you all think I should be looking for. Speed wise, well I like speed but a comfy 70-75 would be ok. Im in CA. Don't mind shipping in the right boat but has to fit the budget.
206, 210, 202, 19'8, 203 would fit the bill.
The ones Matt listed would fit your size requirement. Except for the 198, which is 19'8", they are 20'+. Speed is naturally going to depend on which motor is on the stern.
There are so many models you can get for under 25. Look at these 210's posted on board.. a 3-4 yr old boat with engine warranty for 26-27 you know they would take 25 or less to sell them. Your in the drivers seat on a boat purchase..Enjoy the shopping..
What do you guys think about the price on this one. They are gonna drop it to $22500

Good deal, I think Lea has a 198 that year. those are fine boats from what I have seen. If all is good, go for it.

I think I'd keep looking. With a 200 it won't get near 70 and I would want a dual axel trailer.

It actually has a 225 opti on it with 200hrs, but yes a tandem axle trailer would be nice.

Which of those are "wide body" boats? When I upgrade from my 187, which I absolutely love (I have stories) I'd be on the hunt for a 19'8" plus boat, but I'm willing to sacrafice (maybe nothing) for the room, storage and stability.

All but the 203 are wide body. The 203 is 90", the others are 95"
Looks like C&O has a couple nice 206's too bad they are both single console. My 203 is duel console and I have grown quite fond of the duel consoles.
